Baby Kicks
3 Aug 2006This evening, for the first time, I was able to feel our baby girl kicking.
My wife, Charlotte, has been able to feel the baby kicking for a few weeks now. Several times, she thought the kicks might be just hard enough to feel on the outside of her belly, but it wasn’t so … until tonight.
It’s such an amazing thing happening to us (well, mostly to her). I’m so excited. I wish it was November already and I could hold our daughter in my arms. It’s just 3 more months and even though the past 6 have flown by very quickly, it seems that the next 3 aren’t going fast enough.
With my first child I would wake up in the middle of the night thinking my wife had poked me for something. It took us a while to figure it out.
Also, several times we could see either his butt or his hand or foot (we’re still not sure) move across her belly.
It was quite fascinating.
