KICKS

(NO! THIS IS NOT MY PICTURE!! THANK YOU PERSON OFF THE INTERNET!)

This isn't news to some, but I am now 19 weeks and I still haven't felt the baby kick 100%. I'm always iffy about whether I had felt it or not, and those days where I wondered, well, they were few and far between. Today I was laying in bed, and I asked Dorian if he wanted to feel my big old prego stomach (mostly the top of my uterus, since that was fresh on my mind. I had a dr. appointment today). He hasn't felt my stomach since I've been pregnant, and hasn't show much interest. He responded with a somewhat enthusiastic, "Sure!" He put his hand on my stomach to feel it kick, and I said, "NO, no, no! This baby is not kicking yet. You won't feel anything. Here's the top of my uterus!" He thought that was pretty cool, and then put his had back on my stomach and wiggled it. Then the baby KICKED....then kicked again!!! I have been feeling the baby all day. It's like he/she was waiting for their daddy this whole time. Dorian must be magic, because I have spent day after day and night after night laying in bed trying to feel my baby kick or move, and not until today when the daddy tries does it do anything! :o) Fun day.
