the first kick, the first fear

I felt my little baby's first strong kick on Sunday. I was just lazing around on the couch when suddenly I felt a little 'toing' on the right side of my belly. Excited, I quickly put my hand on my tummy to feel it again and yet somehow it refuses to kick when you want it to. After a few minutes, I gave up waiting and lifted my hands off of my tummy, and there it was, another 'toing'... It won't be long before it starts to kick more and practises its acrobatic skills inside. Until then I'll just have to be patient and wait for its unpredictable 'toings'...
We bought a new mattress the other day and now we have 2 queen size beds in our room. Baby Khalis started to conquer most of our bed a few months ago and hubby thought it's about time we got another so that I'll have more space to myself. =) You won't believe how a small little fella can take up so much space! Hubby and I have been kicked and punched almost every night because little monster here just can't sleep on one side... quietly... nope he'll stretch and 'fling' his body from one end of the bed to another... I wonder whose side he got this 'lan fan' syndrome from hmmm?
Baby Khalis has just turned 15 months and has been experiencing his first fear... night fear... He would cry and wail everytime we turn off the light and somehow the night light doesn't help calm him... I really hope this phase of his would go away soon. He would wail for more than 20 minutes before falling asleep and it's starting to get quite tiring listening to him cry nonstop and it gets me worried... and it drives hubby nuts! =D
