Hadn't heard that Tess was the name you had chosen. I like it! My middle name is Tess and I just don't hear it very often. I'm actually "Angela Tess" but go by Angie. I had to point that out because Angie doesn't sound as good with Tess.
And yes, I hear ya about the kicking thing! My weirdest moments were when I was really large and you could see the baby rolling around making my belly look very strange - while I'm standing in line at the grocery store. You get some really funny looks then!
