Today, for
the first time, I thought I felt kicks. I wasn't sure what they feel like so at first I wasn't sure if it was them. It was a sort of small bursting sensation in my
lower abdomen three times in a few hours, and I didn't know what else
it would be. They weren't strong enough for Jack to feel from the outside.
But later the baby kicked more, and more strongly.
I was sure they were kicks because I could even feel them from the outside of
my abdomen. I just sat alone in my bedroom in wonder and happiness and laughed,
and I texted Jack to tell him.
Much later
tonight when Jack came home he put his hand on my stomach and waited but
felt nothing. But very shortly after he gave up I felt a kick so hard it
startled me and made me gasp, and he got excited and waited again. Then he felt
the kicks too, and I only wish I had a video of his face. He looked utterly
delighted, and as he felt more kicks he leaned down and kissed my knee (from
the angles we were laying on the bed that was the easiest thing to kiss) and we
both just laughed a lot. It was such a sweet moment.
