You have been a kickin’ fool for a few weeks now. I don’t ever feel it from the outside. Only the inside. but when I do, it makes me smile and giggle.
Tonight, however, was a monumental moment between your Dad and I. I swore to him about two nights ago that I could feel you kick with my hand on my belly. So I made him be patient while he sat and waited for you to do it again.. but to no avail. Surprise surprise, Dad fell asleep during said belly touch.
Which brings us to tonight. Dad was mad at me because I gave Quincy a chicken wing bone to chew on and instead of chewing it, the next thing I know, the bone is gone and Quincy had swallowed the whole thing. Oops.
I made Dad touch my belly to make him happy again (because anything to do with you makes him smile) and not two minutes later I asked him if he felt what I just felt from the inside. At first he said no and started giving me some dumb excuse like “the doctor said I wouldn’t be able to…” And then you kicked again. Harder this time. In a gasp I asked if he felt that and before he could even finish his sentence he just said “Yes” and smiled.
Mission accomplished.
