Bump, Kick, Spike

It happened last night. G had a conversion so he was downstairs most of the evening making sure everything went along smoothly for work. We at our salads for dinner downstairs and relaxed for a bit until he really had to get going with work. As we were sitting there I started working on getting some photos printed. As I'm streaming through pictures of last year's Christmas in Europe I feel those little kicks from our little girl. As I rub my belly the kicks are feeling strong. Then, all of a sudden I felt the kick on my hand! I quickly told G to put his hand on my belly and within a minute he felt his little girl kick. It was amazing to say the least. At some point I will probably take those kicks for granted but I really hope I don't. The look on G's face was priceless. It was this shock and amazed look. He finally was able to feel his daughter. I got pretty teary about the whole ordeal but everything makes me teary these days. I love that her kicks are getting stronger every day now. Words had left me and we just sat there in silence. He felt her kick a couple of more times and I saw some content in his eyes. It was just so simple yet so amazing at the same time. Yes, every woman that has gone through pregnancy has felt those kicks. For me it has just become more real every day as those little kicks that say "hi mommy I'm here" that I'm going to really be a mom.
