Touchy Feely

For a few weeks now I've been able to feel BG kicking and hitting. Jason has been so anxious waiting to feel him. When I sit on the couch as I am now with the laptop resting on my belly, watching tv, I usually feel him. However, Jason is in the other room playing on his computer. So, while we're in bed trying to fall asleep, he rests his hand on my belly.

At first I thought that because he has pressure on him he moves, maybe we need to put pressure on my belly to make him squirm around. However, today I started thinking, when you are trying to move around in a confined space, you kick and hit a few things. If your confined space becomes even more confined, you won't be able to squirm nearly as much and it may not be felt cause your movements are smaller.

While sitting in sacrament today, Jason had his right arm around me and his left hand on my belly. He was putting quite a bit of pressure on my belly and I told him my theory. So, he just kind of rested his hand on my belly with little to no pressure. The first speaker was done talking and then our Bishop got up and played Still, Still, Still on the piano. He is a fantastic pianist and I thoroughly enjoy his playing. About half way through the song, there was such a huge kick in the lower part of my abdomen that I kind of jumped. I looked at Jason and he looked at me and he said, "Was that him?" I told him it was and he was so excited! We had one of those moments where everything around us stopped and it was just us enjoying this little moment we had. It was so perfect!

It was so exciting to see him get so excited about it. He finally got to feel his little man kick. I wish it could've happened on Christmas, but I still feel like it was a great Christmas present, brought a little late. As he conducted the closing song, he was on the stand smiling so big and non-stop! I love my baby daddy. We've truly had a blessed season.
