He spends his days and nights flipping, punching, and kicking. I can imagine him in a flying kick straight out of the womb, fist forward punching out the poor midwife that waits for him. Baby D will hit the ground running and fill the streets full of roundhouses if anyone gets in his way. He’ll make his way to the state capitol where he’ll bring down the corrupt government and ring in a new era of peace and teddy bears.
Sigh… my son, already I’m proud of him.

Janay at 5 1/2 months
I thought I would share this picture I took of Janay at the 5 1/2 month mark. Just look at that bump!

Just a quick note to say that all is well in Destello land.
Janay’s doing and feeling really great, and so is Baby D. He’s been kicking and moving around a lot, and it’s fun/amazing to feel him moving. We just passed the halfway mark and are looking forward to the 3rd trimester which starts in about a month.
I started classes last week, and have so far been buried under text books. It’s been great though, and I’m already learning a lot. I have two classes, one is called User-Centered Design and the other is Computer Assisted Communication. It’s nice to be in classes that actual pertain to my job, I’m finding them to be very interesting.
Hope all is well with you all. If you get a chance, drop us a comment or two to let us know what you most want to hear about on this blog.

Baby D -
Today we get a good look at you. Hopefully we’ll find out if you’re a boy or a girl (just so we can stop referring to you as “it”), but really – it doesn’t matter either way to us, we really just want you to be a healthy, happy kid.
We’ve been so excited for this day, and this weekend was a double edged sword – I wanted it to go by fast so we could get to today sooner, but I also wanted it to creep because I start grad school on Tuesday, and I know I’m going to be so much busier than I used to be. But the weekend is gone, and here we are – just 2 hours from seeing you.
I spend every night with my ear and hand pressed to your mommy’s belly – you are most active when we’re trying to go to sleep at night and then at 7 o’clock in the morning, which I’m sure will be a lasting trend when you’re on the outside.
Last night you kicked so hard that I saw the skin on your mommy’s tummy jump a bit. You’re getting so strong! It’s amazing to me that you started as something incomprehensibly microscopic, and now you’re big enough to kick me in the head!
Okay, I need to finish getting ready now. See you soon!
xoxo – your mama
