First Kicks!


Feeling the baby kick for the first time was awesome. With a steadily growing belly, I felt the baby moving around shortly after 12 weeks or so. Jason couldn't feel anything yet, nor could anyone else, but I was feeling it all the time. It's strange to think that there is a little person moving around in there!

Every night when we went to bed I would lie flat and wait... and wait... and wait for the baby to kick; and it would. I'd get all giddy every time. People told me that it would be neat when I finally started to feel something, and they were right! It's hard to explain what it feels like, I guess the best description is butterflies or gas. If you've never been pregnant, you can only imagine the feeling and it was different than I thought it was going to be.

It wasn't but a few weeks later when Jason felt the bugger kick! We were lying in bed and I was feeling it move around a lot. He pressed his hand on my belly and waited. It kicked and he felt it! Finally! I was so excited that he could feel what I was feeling for weeks!
