The First Kick

Yesterday (June 15th) was the first time I felt a kick from the little one. 

I laid down on my bed for the night and felt these little thumps in my belly... 

How can I explain what a kick feels like? Well, you know when you have been running and your heart is pounding really strongly. It feels like that, only it's down in your belly and not in your chest. I read a few days back, that the dad might have to wait a couple of weeks after the mom feels the first kicks, for the babys kicks to be strong enough for him to be able to feel them- but this baby sure is strong, We could both feel it the first day. (But when I think back I have felt this kicking before, only I haven't recognised it as baby kicks, I have just thought I've had a hungry tummy or something of the sort)

It is a very magical thing when you can feel the baby -its like it feels like your connecting more -and when the dad can feel it too he probably feel like it's a little more real for him too... I mean... I feel everything, when I sit down I feel the little one now. Where as he has only now gotten to feel the baby. And I think he feels it to be very amazing too. He smiles a lot... =)

Time is moving quickly. I can hardly believe all this myself.

A BABY! MY BABY. OUR BABY!

Its beyond me. I really didn't think I could have any, and here I am, halfway thru my pregnancy, happy and healthy.

Life truly could not be much better than this.
