Saturday morning, lying in bed waiting for the girls to wake up, Darrell finally got to feel Ethan kicking for the first time. It seems to have taken forever. He's normally most active in the mid-morning and afternoon so that's when I'm at work. In the evenings, it's almost like he can hear me tell Darrell to feel, because the minute I do, he stops kicking! Thankfully we've made it past that; Ethan was pretty active last night again and not too ornery, so Darrell got to feel a little more.
I'm mildly obsessed with feeling him kick, or watching my belly and waiting for him to kick. (It's like a cool little reverse trampoline effect.) I also love to poke around, trying to figure out what parts of him are where. Can't say I've had much success with that yet. I'd really love to know though. Last night it did not feel so much like a foot kicking, more like a larger object - My guess was that he was playing trampoline and bonking his head into my side... but I don't even know if that made sense!
Friday I realized that I can finally see my belly protruding past my boobs, meaning, when I look down I can see it. Darrell thinks I'm silly, but for me (currently wearing an E) that's quite an accomplishment.
We need more pictures.
