She's kicking!

You've been moving around for a few weeks now off and on. You've been much more active lately and you're to the size I can feel without trying to figure out if it's you or indigestion. It started out feeling like muscle spasms. I can't really describe how it feels now. You tend to be most active when I lay down to sleep or if I wake up in the early morning hours. When I feel you in the early morning hours, I tend to wake up more feeling excited, waiting to feel more movements from you. Consequently I have been missing an hour or so of sleep, but it's worth it!

Last night, we laid down to read a chapter of Winnie the Pooh aloud to you before going to bed. Dad was reading and I had my hands on my belly when you gave a good kick or head butt or punch. I said to your dad, "Give me your hand," and put it where you had just kicked. He began reading again, you hit right under his hand, his head snapped up to look at me with a huge grin on his face and he began laughing. I said, "Did you feel that?" He went back to reading and you did it once more. He looked up and said, "There was another one!" We finished the chapter and began to fall asleep. You had stopped moving as much then. Your dad said, "All I want to do is text my dad!" (your grandpa). I said, "Why don't you?" So he did and your grandpa thought it was pretty cool and one of the best things he remembers about when your grandma was pregnant with your Uncle TJ.
