Micha got to feel the baby move! He wasn't sure he wanted to but for a few nights in a row now, before we go to sleep, he's lay in bed with me and put his hand on my belly. It usually isn't a good time because the baby is the most active right after I eat. Even when Bump is moving around before bed, it's pretty subtle, even to me. Last night, I'd had some popcorn so when we layed down I could feel the baby squirming around. I put Micha's hand on my belly and after a few minutes, he felt the baby move. The idea of a small person being inside me still weirds him out. He got the funniest expression on his face and pulled his hand back. After a few second he said 'Weird!'
Bump moves a great deal, especially after lunch. It's probably one of my favorite things about being pregnant, so far. Pregnancy is sort of surreal until that first little flutter of movement. The first sonogram looks like a cashew and the heart beat is so fast and coming from a machine, but movement is more...organic. It's proof of life that is unobstructed by technology or the clinical setting of a doctor's office. The baby's movements also make me feel as though Bump is growing and healthy and getting stronger everyday. I look forward to our afternoon 'dates', when he squirms and wriggles and kicks and punches.
Hi I do have to agree with you--mine is also very busy after food--but MOST busy from 10:30pm to around 2am lol. Lately she's (we know it's a girl)--big enough that I can't feel her little movements--only her big ones. I have to get my husband to feel her to tell what's going on in there. I'm a little a head of you but I feel yes it's sort of weird that there is this little person growing in there & moving around.
ReplyDeleteI've really noticed mine likes music with a beat--have you tried listening to music with a beat to see what yours does? I discovered it by watching a tv music show with drumming--and got a few beats back. As well as at the movie--during chase scenes--they have good music--I'll get a few bump bumps to that music too!
I'm 23 weeks this week May 13.
