Last Night’s Big Event

Last night we were laying in bed, and I felt a weird little popping sensation on the right side of my midsection. I figured it was either more ligament-stretching (whoa, does that ever hurt) or the enormous amount of pizza I’d just had for dinner settling in for the evening, but then remembered that I’m just about at 16 weeks, and that’s when you’re supposed to start feeling kicks…and early kicks feel a lot like digestion/hunger gurgles. But not exactly.

Which is what this felt like.

I told Kendrick to put his hand on my tummy, and he…OK, it was adorable, so I need to give you a visual. It went like this:

“YEAHYEAHYEAHYEAHYEAHYEAHYEAH!!!!” Plus a launch into the air and a few jumps on the bed. And the biggest smile I’ve ever seen, and the guy has quite the smile on a regular day.

So that was exciting. Hey there, kid!

    That is so exciting! I’m amazed Kendrick was able to feel it, too. Avalon was successfully able to hide from Jacob until just recently – when she became too big to do so. She’d be kicking up a storm and I’d grab his hand and put it on my belly – and she’d stop. Instantly. I was like “I swear she was just doing it!” He’d take his hand off and she’d start up again. I was beginning to think he didn’t believe I was really having a baby – and just maybe eating too many donuts…

    Wait til 32 weeks – they become kind of painful! But it’s cool cause you can see your stomach move when the baby does – like you have the Alien inside you, trying to claw its way out…

    Congrats on the first kicks…it’s a wonderful feeling. I always said it feels like when you put your hand in a fishbowl and a goldfish bumps into your hand :) Then later it’ll feel like someone is doing tai-chi in there. Or contortions. It’s freaky. Go search some youtube videos LOL
