As of August 28, 2008 I started feeling our little boy move; it has been so exciting to feel him scootch around in my tummy. This whole growing another human in my stomach just gets more and more fascinating. Christian has really been wanting to feel the little man, but wasn't able to until last night.
As we were laying in bed, I told C that the little guy has been kicking harder lately so maybe he should see if he could feel him. I tried to wake the little guy up and as soon as C's hand reached my stomach he gave a big kick for his daddy. C was so excited! What was the most tender part of the night was after about 5 minutes, C puts his head really close to my belly and says, " Hey little guy, this is your daddy; I love you." Right as he said this the baby gave C's hand a big kick as if to say, "love you too!" It was one of those fairytale moments, small and perfect.
What a scary and exciting journey Christian and I are on. We are thrilled for this little one to join our family, we feel so lucky and blessed already, and he isn't even here.

It is so fun and exciting to literally feel your love grow for your husband as you watch him become a dad... they have such a different journey than us moms to become a parent, but it's still a special one.
Ooh it's so exciting now! I'll bet he's got great rhythm, considering his paternity!
Awesome! Definitely one of those sweet cherished moments! It only gets better!
Too sweet! I am so excited for you guys! Cherish every moment!
Aww, that gave me goose bumps to read.
