daddy got a kick

Last night Paul felt baby move for the first time! Baby has been super active in the evenings, and last night while we were lying in bed, I asked Paul to tell baby about his night. (He feels less awkward when he talks about something specific, so last night baby heard about the plans for brewing a big batch of Scottish ale with the homebrew club.) Baby started wiggling even more and gave two really big kicks. Paul was so excited! After that, he started to feel the subtle kicks, too.

It was so fun! He was so happy to feel it for himself; he's been trying for at least the last eight weeks. These bonding moments are amazing. I have a feeling I'll have a hand on my belly even more often now. :)

6 kind words:

  1. YAY!! I LOVE it! It is a memory you will never forget.

  2. I just love it when a daddy starts to feel a baby. For so long, it is 'less real' to them, like they are about 4 months behind than we are. Now it gets very very real for you both!
