Kicks from the belly.

We were up late last night, feeling Baby kick Mommy’s tummy.  We’d never quite felt it before.  I didn’t think I’d be able to feel it from the outside, but I could.  I put my ear on Mommy’s bellybutton, in an attempt to, I don’t know, hear something.  Mommy said, “There’ one!” just as something kicked me in the cheek!  If we were still, we could see a few tiny bumps from the inside.

It’s amazing to me that something can be unreal (having a child) and real (seeing pictures and feeling movement and hearing the heartbeat) and surreal (HAVING A CHILD!).
