Kicking, Punching, and Keeping Mommy on her toes

Our precious little girl decided to make herself VERY known last night. It was precious, awe striking, and incredible.

Jesse and I were settling into bed, after what had been a LONG, tiring, and emotional day for me...and I started to feel something. Now lets be honest here, pregnancy brings GAS, lots of gas. So all this time when people had been asking me if I had felt her, I kept saying "no." When, in fact, I now know I for sure had been. But last night was special. and much more abrupt! Anyways, I now know, not all of it was gas :)

Back to last night. So, we had just settled into bed. Things had been quiet, I knew Jesse was well on his was to asleep when I felt this bubble. Then a small "jab" followed by another, then another. So I put my had on my stomach where I had been feeling them and sure enough... I felt it. Immediately I said "Jesse put your hand on my stomach!" Now we know from our ultra sound, we have no calm baby... she is a MOVER! After a few, "did you feel that" and "No's" finally, "I think I felt her, it was very soft and subtle..." Well...maybe to him :)

It was a precious moment. Reminded me to keep my joy. It is all worth it in the end. Truly.

With all our love, and "jabs"

J, T, and Movin' Baby Girl!

yay! so sweet! that first recognition of a kick is sooo special! fathers day in australia is in september and a few days before that i had felt bubs kicking for the first time. (couldn't feel it on the outside yet though.) the saturday night before fathers day i laid in bed and prayed that ryan would be able to feel a kick for fathers day the next day. (what a great gift that would be!) that morning as we woke up, sure enough, levi was on the move. i put ryan's hand in the right place and he felt him! such a precious moment!! x
