Kicks at about 28-30 weeks

What can we say now.... If Bryan could feel Tyler as much as I do; he would understand all about how his Tyler is so active. Little Tyler is being active ever since he started kicking. He kicks everyday, almost every hour. One night he had me two hours looking at the ceiling fan for 2 hours without being able to sleep because his kicks wouldn't let me sleep....RRRRR

Another day he started to kick like there was earthquake inside my womb, it was very weird. So I decided to talk to him and tell him...calm down, what is going on...and he did it. So at least he is listening now... I hope he does it when he turns 15 or 20 years old ...you know...



One night Bryan & I went to a concert at the Kennedy Center. My friend Juan Cayrampoma who was performing with his group Raymy invited us to his concert and also Juan mentioned to us, there were going to be Peruvian dances and more...so I thought ok let's start introducing Tyler to Peruvian rhythm, dances and more...so there was a time when a Peruvian typical instrument called "cajon" which is a wooden box was played. The cajon is played with both hands like if it was a drumb. I personally loved to hear "cajon" rhythm. The minute the guy started to play the cajon Tyler started kicking almost at the rhythm of the cajon... funny and crazy as it sounds that is how I felt it. Of course I looked at Bryan and said your kid is crazy!!!

My youngest brother Ellyot is a singer, a writer and a dancer (among other things...). I have being listening to all kinds of music for ever, dancing salsa in the kitchen cause' Bryan wouldn't go to Rumba Cafe or any other salsa place...so you can imagine Tyler must have some arts in his veins and the science side from Bryan, right? We will have to see:)

Tyler 1st kicks

His kicks started at week 16 approx. I could feel some bubbles in my stomach, sometimes it was like somebody was tickling me and that was funny, because it made me laugh.
The weeks passed and his kicks started to get stronger and it was not as funny as in the beginning. Sometimes he surprised me in the middle of a meeting with a kick and I was jumped out of my seat.
I had been asking Bryan to try and see if he could feel Tyler kick. But he always said NO. Until yesterday Saturday November 8th. We had a jewelry show to go and that morning we had to wake up early but my back was bothering me and I didn’t sleep well. The day before we had a show from 9am-9pm so my back had a reason to be sore. I decided to lie on my belly. BIG MISTAKE & just as demanding as his mom; Tyler kicked stronger than ever, so I told Bryan put your hand on my belly now that I am lying on my stomach and Tyler kicked Bryan for the 1st time. I had to turn back and lay on my back because Tyler would not allow me to be on my stomach and it was very clear he didn’t like it. Again in a very demanding way and without even talking he told me TURN AROUND MOM, NOW!!!
