This is going to be a quick entry…just wanted to log this so that we don’t forget!
Last night (at 20 weeks and 6 days pregnant), Prof-Man got to feel Baby-Bean kick for the first time!
Baby-Bean was being her usual kickboxing self last night…when I suddenly realized that the kicks were getting stronger. I was talking to Prof-Man about this and he asked when he would be able to feel the kicks just by placing his hand on my belly. We both figured it would be at least a few weeks before the kicks got strong enough to notice from the outside…but I decided to test out our theory.
It only took 15 minutes or so before she was kicking up a storm again, and I realized that I could actually feel the nudges from the outside! Of course the first time I called Prof-Man over, our sneaky little girl stopped kicking almost immediately (I actually think that having a hand on my stomach relaxes her, making her slow down with the kicky-dance). Anyways, we finally managed to get the timing down, and Prof-Man caught a kick!
I could spend days and days just sitting with my hand on my stomach feeling those cute little nudges! Such an amazing feeling! It’s also a real comfort to have daily reminders that everything is going well…I love that Baby-Bean keeps letting me know how she’s doing! She’s making her momma proud already! :)
You made me misty at work
