I have gotten into the habit of holding the baby as I fall asleep. Since baby is still in Julia's womb, this consists of laying my hand on her tummy as we doze off. This past Saturday, as sleep was fast approaching I felt a flutter on her stomach.
This was undoubtedly the baby doing a grande plie. Unless of course baby is a boy, in which case he was practicing his batting swing. Either way, this marked the first time Baby has attempted communicating with me.
Baby started communicating with Julia a few days earlier. I must admit, at first I was skeptical thinking it was just indigestion, but now I am convinced that five and half inch, 20 oz, baby is making itself known.
It is quite the experience feeling the baby for the first time. Up until now, the only sign that Julia was pregnant was the pooch on her belly, which is not at all unlike the pooch on my belly and I am surely not pregnant. Feeling the baby move reminded me that the whole pregnancy was in fact real, and made us all the more excited for his big coming out party!

Just wait until you can SEE her moving. That's when it gets really crazy - like Julia has an alien in her belly trying to break out. When we were at Christmas Eve Mass when I was pregnant, every time the choir would sing, Cameron would kick like crazy. Mom saw this, and commented that Cameron enjoyed listening to Papa sing. :)
How exciting!
I'm so excited for you! I can't wait to see her/him either!
Mom
