I always feel like, somebody's kicking me

I discovered on Friday, October 30th that I was able to feel the baby move. It's weird, kinda like a muscle spasm deep within your belly. I was hoping for something more substantial - like a crouching tiger/hidden dragon karate kick - but it's still neat. Since that day, I've been enjoying feeling Lil' Spooky moving around but really wanted to share that sensation with Brian.
This past Saturday morning, I woke up in the middle of the night and had trouble going back to sleep. Lil' Spooky was kicking up a storm so I put my hand on my belly just to see if I could feel it from the outside, and I'm pretty sure I did feel the kick! But, no one else was awake... ((sigh)) so I had no one to share it with.
Last night, while munching on a steak salad for dinner, it felt like Lil' Spooky was doing cartwheels (this kid LOVES ranch dressing!). So I quickly laid down on the couch next to Brian and put his hand on my belly & told him to press down hard. Brian said he felt something, but the baby stopped moving so we aren't a 100% sure. We'll keep you posted! :)

  1. Hey Katie, Why didn't you wake Brian up,I'm sure he wouldn't have minded feeling his first baby kicking... I wish I would have been there, I would love to feel Lil' Spooky kick...

  2. Awesome! I remember thinking I would just never feel Wil move, but Lord knows when they do start, they don't stop! Sounds like this kid is going to be able to keep up with the rough and tumble cousins well! Love, Aunt Betsy:)
