I remember when I was about six months pregnant, Nathaniel had been kicking and kicking and kicking everyday all day and when we were at the beach he was pretty mellow the whole time. If Chris got transferred close to the beach instead of the four hours that we are now I would stay here forever and a day.Babes Mamihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07358199545037517298noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3027534132693377698.post-66834212754213397392011-03-04T23:15:36.152-05:002011-03-04T23:15:36.152-05:00Aw man...
