At night, wifey's been having me place her hand on her growing belly to feel the baby squirm and move. I can barely feel something move, similar to if you put your hand on my belly after a sushi buffet: you can feel something, but it's probably not a baby. Earlier this week, when she felt the baby wide awake, I put my hand on her belly and there it was: the baby kicked or punched or headbutted my hand. When I finally felt the unmistakable presence of a little guy in there, I was as proud as any dad who's kid was already out of the womb.Sometimes the baby squirms around a lot and keeps wifey from sleeping. A friend of mine who just gave birth to her son this past Thursday (Congrats S & H!), told me that sometimes the baby will stretch from his fetal position, and she'll feel the pushing in an area of her body that isn't in the tummy. Ouch.
Next time we see any of you, maybe the baby will be awake and jumping. If wifey offers you to feel a kick, I'll gladly let you put your hand on my belly too to compare.

It's the best feeling in the world to feel your baby when they're still inside of mommie!
