----Ecclesiastes 3:1
first kick
March 8, 2007eighteen (18) weeks and one (1) day at around 1:15pm yesterday, my baby kicked me hard. my reaction was somewhat late since i was unfamiliar to the sensation and was then having lunch at my mom's place. i had to stop chewing for a few seconds to think about what happened. after about a few seconds, the realization that the baby just kicked me finally has finally sink in. and i was darn ecstatic. that was perhaps two (2) or three (3) hard kicks.
when i went back to our house (2 streets away from my mom's), i roused my husband from his deep slumber to tell him about what happened. his sleepiness left him right away and he started feeling my tummy and talking to the little fellah inside asking him to do one more kick for daddy. too bad the baby is probably asleep already or no longer in the mood. his dad had to sleep off his feelings of jealousy. im sure in the future i will be pleading with the baby to lessen the kicks, but more now we're just way too excited.
this morning he kicked again while his dad was watching an anime dvd. seems like the little fellah wanted to tease his/her dad that he/she stopped kicking the minute i placed hubby's hand on my tummy. hubby is so excited and he kept on asking me how does it feel to have the baby kick me. and i guess i just really dont have a way to describe it to him. i mean yeah its easy to say that something is kicking you from inside but then again when i havent felt the baby do that, i was also wondering how it will feel. oh well, it is amazingly wonderful.
