It's official.
I can feel my baby boy's tiny little kicks. :)
I started feeling the little taps on Monday night, but I didn't want to get too overly excited in case it was just bubbles. But this is definitely different than anything I have felt before.
As the week has gone by the kicks have gradually gotten a little stronger. In fact, when Jared walked in the door tonight he called out for me and Wyatt kicked in response. I don't know if it was just convenient timing or if he can already recognize his daddys voice. I told Jared that I thought maybe Wyatt recognized him and so he came over and put his hand on my tummy to which Wyatt promptly kicked back at, hard. Well, hard for a 21.5 week old fetus, lol.
I'm soooo so so glad to finally be able to feel my baby boy. Every time I feel him, it reassures me that he's still in there growing strong. And every time I feel him, it's a reminder as to why I am doing this. Bed rest is so worth it if it can get this baby safely here!
Isn't that such a cool feeling?! In a couple of weeks when you can see him moving from the outside, you'll just sit and stare at your belly. That will make bed rest go by a little faster. :)
