Until last night, I have only felt Baby move a few sporadic times. These were generally followed by me freezing in place with a look of, "Wait, what was that?" on my face. This freeze-and-stare often needed to be explained to co-workers and the occasional grocery store clerk.
Last night was different. I lay partially on my side and my tummy (although there is really no distinguishing area anymore for either anymore!), and felt Baby move. I nearly held my breath trying to lay still enough to feel it again. Soon, I felt a "flick flick flick" nearly in succession. It was amazing. It was like Baby was communicating with me in some way. It wasn't long before I felt Baby move again, and I was overcome with a feeling of pride and gratitude and... just plain happiness. Soon, I was somewhere between tears and laughter.
It's such an incredible feeling. I was so excited, it was hard to fall asleep. Luckily, Baby kept me entertained for quite a while longer. ♥

I want to feel! I think the reason baby kicks so much is he wants daddy to hold him.
