Dylan made sure we all knew he was on his way. Baby B was definitely our boy. I felt Dylan first, he was hard to miss. His full flips were not only felt but were also documented. I couldn't believe how much his position changed each doctor's visit.
I really looked forward to meeting Dylan's arms, legs, elbows and feet. I saw them so often poking out. I would play with him by poking his parts back into my stomach. Dylan loved listening to music before he was born, expecially classical music with piano pieces. Daddy & I would start the morning talking and listening to different kinds of music. While Neisha prefered jazz and female vocals, Dylan was most active to more complex classical pieces.
Dylan's temperment is much like Lindsay's calm demeaner. He seems to take things in stride. I enjoy watching him. His face is very expressive and his facial features are so boylike.
This will probally sound odd. I wondered if after our first brief meeting after Dylan & Neisha's birth if I could/would recognize my children the next time I saw them. I was amazed at how easy it was to know them when I saw them again, as my memory of them was not just written somewhere in my head but also in my heart. I can close my eyes and see every Dylan feature and expression. As a new mother, I'm begining to understand the idea that has been expressed by so many mothers I've met along the way, it is different with your own children, they are like a piece of your heart living outside of your body.
Daddy & I love Dylan very much. We look forward to exploring life through Dylan's eyes.
