On Father's Day.
Last Sunday, on Father's Day, I was talking to my mom on the phone. I'd just stood up from laying across the bed. I didn't even realize that my hand was on my stomach until I felt a little nudge bumping against it... and then the little bump moved to the side. I think my heart stopped. It felt like minutes passed when it was only a few seconds. Suddenly I interrupted my mom, "Mom, I think I just felt the baby. It bumped into my hand... Oh my word!"
A second later I said, "Mom! I have to go see if it will do it again and have Loren feel it, bye!" I threw down my cell phone and ran to the living room.
I could hardly catch my breath, I was so excited. "Baby, put your hand on my stomach... NOW!" I stuttered as I tried to tell him what I just felt and then I might have jumped up and down a little.
His eyes lit up and he started trying to poke the baby. I stopped him. "No babe, just wait, I think if you wait, you might feel it moving." We were quiet for a moment. I focused on taking a few deep breaths. Then I took Loren's hand and moved it to where I had felt the baby move and I pressed gently in on the spot, all the while watching his face. It was blank. Disappointed. "I'm not feeling anything."
"Just wait."
Suddenly his eyes lit up. His voice was awed. "I felt it moving!" I wasn't sure whether to laugh or cry.
I laughed.
We might have kissed, I was so excited I don't remember what happend! I called my mom back and let her know exactly what we had just experienced. She felt so special to have shared in that exact, special moment. My husband got the best Father's Day present in the world... his tiny child kicking at him!
I wanted to share this little story with you all week but I couldn't put it into words. It was such a sweet moment and I have a feeling that it's just the beginning of many, many more. -

You have that lovely, pregnant-mom *glow*. It's beautiful!
I remember the first time we felt our baby move, it was just amazing!!
You look beautiful, Meg!
that is so awesome. I got a little tear in my eye/lump in my throat
The baby moving is def. hands down the best part of being pregnant!
And wow, it is going to be so exciting when your baby is here safe and sound and you get to hold it in your arms!
it's so true that that special moment ya'll had is only the beginning, and I had the same rounder look when I was pg, but I think it's just called being healthy.
I also loved the last pic, the top is an amazing colour! It just makes your dark looks pop!
His peace and blessings be yours!
Awe ! That's so awesome !! I'm so happy for you guys !!
Hey Meg, that gave me goose bumps while I was reading. That is so special that it happened on Father's Day!
