The Power of Hormones

For about a month now I have been able to feel our little girl moving about and in the past couple of weeks her movements have been getting stronger and stronger, so much so that I sometimes get woken up at night when she is having what I like to call "play time".  Eric had been eagerly awaiting his first chance to feel her movements from the outside but from around Thanksgiving until early December her movements were not strong enough.

On Saturday (12/10/11) at around 4:00 am I was jolted awake from a nightmare with my heart racing and to my surprise our little girl was kicking quite strongly.  I'm guessing because she also received a dose of the chemicals coursing through my body as a result of my nightmare.  I woke Eric up and he was able to feel two good, strong kicks.  His first time feeling our little one move!!!!!  Although it was 4:00 am and under somewhat strange circumstances, Eric and I revelled in this moment of shared experience to once again remind us of the little life growing inside of me.  Since then Eric has been able to feel her move on a couple of other occasions, usually when we are laying in bed.
