The Rest of the Story

Okay, so here's the story:

After a fitful night's sleep, I was laying in bed with Puddy this morning thinking about how tired I still was and how I didn't really feel like going to work today. I was laying on my back (which I'm not supposed to be doing now, but sometimes I lay that way for a couple of minutes), with one hand where I thought the baby was, and the other hand on Puddy. He was stretched out, halfway on my stomach, halfway on the bed. We kind of do this every morning. My dog likes to cuddle. :) Anyways, we're laying there, and I felt this little push on my stomach. At first I thought it was Puddy's heartbeating, then it happened again. The second time was when it occurred to me that it was the baby kicking. I actually gasped in the bed and said outloud, "Oh my God!" (which unfortunately is probably the first time that has happened in my bed..hehe) I pushed Puddy off of me and felt around again, and I felt a few more "kicks" and a couple of lighter "punches" off to the right.

It was the coolest, yet weirdest thing I've ever felt! It was weird feeling him move inside me, and it was super-weird feeling it with my hand laying on my stomach! What I wanted to do more than anything in the world right at that moment was stay in bed and feel him move around, but I had to get up and get going. :( But I've felt him off and on all day. Nothing quite as strong as this morning, but I'm definitely feeling him.

So, that's the story!! I'm so happy to finally feel him!

I'm looking forward to laying down tonight and waiting to feel him again.
