Sitting on the couch tonight, and Indi felt more active than usual, so I put her Dad's hand on my bump and told him to be patient. I felt a good one - and turned to say 'Did you feel that?' as he said 'Was that one?!'
Very exciting. And it happened again too.

23 weeks and our little bump has a bit of an identity. Not only do we think we have a favourite name picked already (poll will give you our short list), but she also has a nickname for the time being. We didn't think we'd give the bump a nickname because we've actually already got into the habit of calling her the likely top contender of her actual name but we haven't wanted to give it away..... So, we were discussing the short list at dinner last night with my family and thinking of names that would or wouldn't go with Jones (i.e. Grace). And we decided 'Indi' was a perfect name (for now) as a derivative of Indiana Jones.
And it fits that she's starting to like her action too, obviously busting all sorts of moves in there. I haven't yet felt her completely roll or move, but the bubbles changed to more like flicks and have started to get stronger. Apparently she's more likely to be awake when I feel her, although Gareth doesn't necessarily think that's the case when he sees how I can toss and turn and flail my arms and legs about in my sleep. But if it is that she's awake, then I'm a little worried if the routine will continue when she's newborn, because it's usually at night when I'm sitting on the couch (like now) or in bed. Although there has been the odd reminder she's there while I'm in the middle of an agency work-in-progress meeting at work.... but that's pretty cool, like our little secret that actually, that next piece of comms about a broadband plan shutting down or a billing error isn't really so important....
Indi's room is coming along too. We've got a cot set up, a bassinet (that plenty of Jones babies have slept in, including baby's grandfather, father, 3 uncles, and cousins), and we have a buggy, and a car seat. And we got some cute little gifts today - she's a lucky girl already.
One week of work and then we're taking a bit of a rest - in Raro!
