Confession #7

Confession #7

I feel spoiled that I get to feel my baby move all the time and no one else does.

Can we just talk for a minute about how cool it is to feel your unborn baby move? All you mommies out there know what I'm talking about! My baby wakes me up in the morning by moving around. He's already like, "Mommy!!! Wake up and feed me!" You know, practice makes perfect. And, since my husband goes to work ridiculously early, I don't wake up for another two hours after he goes to work, so Jaden doesn't get to feel the morning gymnastics routine. Oh, and on the weekends, he sleeps longer than me so he doesn't get to feel then either.

Baby loves to kick me but, as these things go, when he's kicking and I want someone to feel, he stops. Then it's just me and the person's hand on my belly and it's awkward... And I'm just thinking, "for real Baby? Now you stop?!" 

Over the holiday weekend, we went to see my parents at their new house. Luckily, this house is only 7 hours away instead of like 11. Still, getting there was and back was a chore because I was incredibly uncomfortable the whole time. Anyway, on with the story. One night, we were all sitting in the living room watching a movie or something, and my mom decided she wanted to feel the baby move. She stuck her hand on my belly and waited. I was like...uhhhh....he's not really moving right now. But, Jaden then had a little chat with his son and Baby threw in a few squirms for her. 

What I've noticed is that Jaden can talk to him a little Baby does exactly what Jaden says. It's weird. One night Baby was kicking me in the most uncomfortable of places and just would NOT stop. I asked Jaden to "have a little talk with his son about it." He rubbed my belly and asked Baby to stop kicking me, and you know what? He did! Father-son bond much? 

Anyway, I am so lucky. I get to go through my day and feel my son move all the time. It's so cool and I feel spoiled because other people don't get to feel it. It is seriously the most marvelous thing ever. And, even though he kicks all the time and wakes me up, I still just enjoy it. I've been able to feel him for almost 2 months and I'm still not sick of it. Not even a little.
