The cat vs. The kid

I'm officially off the road and working from home now - WOO HOO!!

Trouble has become very cuddly to me in the last few days and it all started with a kick from the kid. The first time it happened Trouble was cuddled on my lap with his paws stretched across my tummy. When he got kicked, he gave me a look of "what the heck is going on in there?"

Yesterday, when he again was all cuddled in he again got kicked, this time much more fiercely - like the kid was saying "get off of me". Trouble retaliated and punched my stomach back - not once but numerous times. This went on for many rounds - cat unhappy about being kicked and kid annoyed with cat laying on him and punching back.

I was cracking up and trying to keep my composure as I was on business calls but it was absolutely hilarious.

This kid kicks all the time now - 24/7. Alex came home from work the other day and said he had heard that the kid's personality is already developed before birth. We're in so much trouble if this statement is actually true.

I was told by my mom to stop using the word kid because we're having a human baby not a goat.

Less than 8 weeks to go...
