ghoulsisEvery Sunday morning Zip and I have a ritual: we lay in bed and watch CBS Sunday Morning. It's one of the few truly good news magazines left on tv. I started watching it when I moved down here in '98 because he was always watching it, and... well, six years later, it's sort of a tradition.
This morning, we were watching Charlie Osgood and laying there... and Natto started doing backflips. I mean, usually when I feel the baby move, it's a little tap here or there, then nothing for a week. But today, Natto was going to town. Thump, thump, thump. So on a whim I grabbed Zip's hand and put it on my tummy.
A few seconds later I felt a few little bumps, which he didn't feel. And then Natto went THUMP and Zip exclaimed, "I felt THAT!"
After he knew what he was feeling for, he could feel some of the gentler bumps. A few minutes later Natto settled back down.
I'm soooo happy right now... so excited to be able to share this with my husband. I've been feeling these little kicks for weeks, and felt so happy, but sad too that he couldn't feel them. It's nice to be able to let him in on this part of pregnancy.
