Daddy's First Kick

Last night we ran a couple of errands and then stopped at a nearby park so that L could play and get some energy out. While we were sitting on the bench watching him play I felt Baby A move on my left side, just to the left of my belly button. It didn't feel like a kick, but just a "movement". Kind of like the baby was pressing his/her whole back on my belly. I grabbed DHs hand right away and had him feel the hard spot that Baby A was making on my belly. He felt the hard little body pushing on my belly. As he was holding his hand there, he felt a couple of little kicks. I kept telling him, "are you sure you felt it? Because my pulse is really strong right now so you could just be feeling my pulse." He assured me that he could feel the difference between my pulse and a baby kick:)

When we were talking in bed last night I felt one of the babies kicking me. I grabbed DHs hand again and he placed it where I was feeling the kicks and he felt the kicking. Both times he was beaming from ear to ear and he said, "that is so cool that I can feel them kicking already". Then he leaned down and kissed my big belly.

I feel so lucky to have these babies in my belly. I am loving every minute of having them snuggled in and growing inside of me. I have been on the verge of tears all day because of how much love and joy I feel. Not only for these babies, but for my little L and my DH. I don't think that life could be much better at this point.
