Yay! It Finally Happened!

Ok, for those close family members, you know that I have been trying for weeks to get Bruce to feel the baby. She's been shy or when she moves the movement has been small so only I feel it (since I know what I'm looking for). She would have a big kick every now and then but it wasn't ever at a good time for Bruce to catch her. 

She's been getting stronger all the time and I've been noticing a lot of patterns to her movements. She kicks hardest in the morning ~ hello morning stretches ~ after she's been really quiet for a long time ~this could be any time of day ~ and after ice cream ~ I guess the cold and sugar gives her a special kick.

This morning Bruce woke up around 6:30 to eat a snack and when he came back to bed he woke her up by jiggling her around. She started moving and he actually got to feel her precious little stretches! It's like a hiccup or a baby earthquake in my tummy. Of course he thought it was creepy and I was way more excited than him (he accuses me of not being patient). It is creepy, but in a cool way.

Now that Bruce has felt her move I will let my family try to feel her too. Bruce had to be the first of course, and poor Ryan will probably be tortured by me next weekend too. Yay for baby kicks!
