I mentioned in my last post that at the 20 week appointment, I had not felt you move yet. People said that it felt like a flutter. Well, I was not super sure what a "flutter" felt like. I would have feelings, but I was never sure if it was you or just something weird with my body. The first weekend in June was the first time I felt you. It was REMARKABLE! I sat there in awe. Of course Weston was out of town and I didn't want anyone to know but him, so I had to keep quiet. It was by far the most amazing thing I have ever felt in my life. I wanted to scream with excitement. Finally, the bonding began. It all felt real. I got to actually feel you bouncing around inside of me. I didn't tell Weston when he got home. I wanted it to be a surprise. One night that next week, maybe even on his birthday, he was on the phone by me on the couch. You started moving. I took his hand and put it on my belly. He just started grinning. He just left his hand on my belly for the rest of the conversation. Then when he got off the phone, he said that was pretty cool. Sometimes he will reach over and put his hand on my belly even when you are not moving. I will say that you are not moving, but he doesn't care. It is just his bonding time with you and I let him have it. I will later tell you about all the cute things Weston did while you were growing inside me.
Once you first started moving, you just went non-stop at that point. Some people say that the moving starts to annoy them. For me, you could move all day long. I am a natural worrier. I always have doubt that everything is ok. By you moving, I know all is right with the world. Plus it just makes me love you even more (even when it seems like you could be kicking me right in the bladder). Most of the time, it never hurts. You are really active at night, not as much during the day. You have become more active in the mornings though. I would think you would be active after I drink my morning can of Diet Mt Dew (yes I am a horrible mother that drinks one can for breakfast of caffeine). The most active I have ever felt you was once I went to a bar to eat dinner with some friends where a band started playing before I left. It was kind of loud music. I really think you were just a dancing machine in there.
Another time you moved at lot was one Sunday in church before July 4th. We were singing patriotic songs. I don't know if you are just patriotic, but you were a dancing machine again. During that Sunday, I reached over and grabbed Mom's hand. It was the first time Gigi got to feel you. It was pretty amazing!! I don't mind if people feel you. As long as they don't come up and start feeling up on my belly. If you are moving, I love to share in the coolness. I am STILL waiting on you to be active at work so I can let Kiki feel you (yes, you will be calling Angeleck-Kiki). One of these days you will cooperate.
So keep moving my dancing machine. I will always be grateful for it. You bring me so much joy already.
