12/11/2010 - Nathan's Nemesis - Part 2

Yaaayyy a sequential 2-parter!! Oh yeah, this makes a double update, so check back one to see the first half of this strip story thing :)
I probably should explain a bit to those who have no idea what is going on. Y'see, my wife and I bought a doppler heart monitor thing off Amazon.com so that we can listen to Nathan's heartbeat just to be sure he's okay in there (it can REALLY relieve a lot of worry and stress on whether or not he's okay). But Nathan HATES it I think, as every time we go to use it, as soon as I put it on my wife's belly, he starts to kick the CRAP out of the thing. It sounds funny coming through the speakers, because you'll hear his heartbeat, and then alluva sudden “WHOOMP!!!” She'll feel him kick really hard at the same time as well. Happens almost everytime haha
I probably had way too much fun drawing these two strips, as I was really trying to loosen up and just let the art flow. We'll see if I can make it a habit over the next few strips :)
@Janice: just wanted you to know that I'm loving the hell out of your avatar.
@Alwin: Hmmmm so that would be bad for both parties, I would imagine!
@Maycroft: Thank you so much!! :D
@Man in Black: Indeed we do! ;)
@Syas & Dark Pascual: It's definitely one of her favorite things to do :)
@Ayesinback: By far!!
@Naome: We *try* to go for walks but it's been getting so cold lately that it just hasn't been happening :/ We do get out to go shopping once or twice a week though, with each excursion lasting about 4 hours, after which we're *both* exhausted haha. I think a good amount of her exhaustion (perhaps mine too) also stems from just worrying on if little Nathan is okay though. And yeah, feeling so much better being current with my journal comic now :D
@Caffeine: Hahaha just doing what comes natural! :D
@Doc: I'm sure you will someday! Just keep your eyes and heart open :)
@Rain: Ouch!! :/ Hope you made it through your day okay! And yes, I ALWAYS need coffee. heh
@JT: Never a bad time for a snuggle!!!
@Bocaj: I'm seriously getting tired of the Caps' losing streak right now :/

It reminds me of the movie "alien" scaaary!

AW - the little guy, he's not a fighter. Nathan's just trying to do what everyone expects of him: get bigger - and that means less room. Then this pokey thing comes around, squeezing him in even tighter. What he's doing is self-advocating. way to go kid!

Kid is a badass seems to be!

How adorable! XD Well try not to, worrying is a waste most of the time. Enjoy this time, it's an unforgettable experience. I really enjoyed being pregnant, you can't explain it or recreate the feelings. Do your families have bad health histories or something? I'm sure Nathan is in capable hands, or womb. lol =)

I keep imagining a scene, like in Alien, where the child actually blasts out of the tummy. Sure, everyone in that room would die but wouldn't it look hella cool?

Yup, this is familiar. We bought one of those things for the first child... very RARELY did we ever hear a heartbeat. Most of the time it was just like you said, Ninja baby attacking it savagely. :D Of course, it still gave us the general idea that everything was ok in there. :p We figured out to try using it when the baby seemed to be sleeping, then we could sometimes get the heartbeat without a full on kung fu attack.

I think all babies do that to the ultrasound stuff. My baby bro did kick the monitor when he was in my mom's stomach... Also, yay Nathan! You're gonna be a kung-fu kid!

KUNG FU BAAAABY!!! WHOOPAH!!!

Yeah, it's lame. Also, my sister said that she heard some of the Caps are sick, so that sucksss.

Lolx now when I see pregnant women I'm going to think of their little ones doing all these little kung fu movements xD Ahhh how people will watch me with weird eyes as I laugh to myself xD
