the kicks... THE KICKS!

Are about the coolest thing ever. Feeling her inside me bouncing around, and having a little dance party in my belly always makes me smile. Every time I feel her move, I rest my hand on my stomach so I can feel her. She usually kicks pretty low, but lately she's been kicking right around my belly button. So of course, I want Jeff to have this same obsession with feeling her move and I'm constantly telling him to put his hand on my belly to feel her. I know this might sound weird, but she freezes when it's someone else's hand and stops moving! Or maybe she was just going to naturally stop then, who knows. So after a few minutes of Jeff's hand in some uncomfortable position holding it up he takes his hand away, sad she stopped moving. (let me add in, that Jeff has felt her move plenty of times, but certainly not every time he tries to feel her)

So last week I'm laying in bed on my back and she's going nuts, so he sits up and puts his hand on my belly. And of course...... she stops! he gets a little irritated and pushes on my belly (not hard at all). Immediately she kicks back (or I think punched back). You should have seen the shock on his face - and I was a little shocked too. I'd never pushed on my belly to get a reaction from her. Seeing how excited he was, I couldnt help but mess with him. First I tell him that she's not a puppet and doesnt dance on command. He kind of laughs. He leaves his hand there for a moment and she doesnt move anymore, so I tell him I bet he smacker her on the head and knocked her out. The fear on Jeff's face was pretty much priceless. He then starts in typical Jeff fashion asking lots of Q's - is she really ok, do you think I hurt her, why isnt she moving, can babies pass out in the womb?? Realizing the barrage of questions that would continue for quite a while, I decided to tell him that I was kidding and she is fine. Little does Jeff know how tight my pants can get when I lean down, or how Austin has sucker punched me a couple times jumping up that couldnt compare to Jeff's little tap.

So with that all said, feeling our little one move around, dance, kick, punch, and play the drums in my uterus is the coolest thing ever!
