Feeling kicks

The baby has been kicking up a storm this week! It's so cool to feel :) He's kicking my bladder and making me pee more often but I'm okay with that because just sitting there feeling him move is so amazing. I felt him kick from the outside on Sunday and it was cool but I was battling a stomach bug and it was really more of a pain than exciting since every time he kicked, my stomach would lurch. For the past couple of days though, as soon as he starts kicking I yell to Bill to come put his hand on my belly. As soon as he does though, the baby seems to calm down and stop. It's kind of humorous to me! He'll be practically doing back flips then Bill will put his hand on my belly right where mine was and he'll stop!

Last night before we went to sleep, we laid in bed for a full half hour watching TV with Bill's hand on my belly and he never moved. As soon as he took his hand off, the baby started doing the can-can! I told Bill that all this means is he's has a calming effect on the baby and after he is born, as soon as he starts getting fussy, I'll give the baby to him and he'll calm down! Sweet! lol I know that as small kids, my dad could pick my sister and I up and move us around when we were asleep and my mom never could without waking us up. Maybe our baby will be just like me.

  1. _____ has been moving lots too. Tommy has only felt him once. Any other time Tommy goes to feel him he stops. It cracks me up. I hope our little men start playing for their daddys soon.
