For weeks now I have felt the baby move and now his jabs are strong enough for other hands to feel him but just as another hand touches my belly he stops kicking.
I've been desperately wanting my husband to share this moment with me. I use to yell out, "he's kicking" and Kiel would quickly put his hands on my belly to relish in the moment...but nothing. Nothing would happen. Sure enough as soon as we got impatient and moved our hands the baby would give me another jab.
"What a little sucker" I said.
After the tenth scenario ending the same way, I did something different the next time my husband and I were about to have a moment with baby, I decided not to announce that he was kicking. I just quietly put Kiel's hands on my stomach, but yet again he stopped. Not one movement from him. Kiel waited for 30 minutes while watching T.V. and still not one jab or tickle.
"I guess he went to asleep" I muttered and got up to get a beverage. But sure enough as I opened up the fridge door he kicked me hard in the center.
This was becoming a fun and frustrating game.

I finally scored a point this morning when I got my good morning kick right in the belly button, I put Kiel's hand on my belly and didn't say a word. Ten minutes later, I felt a strong jab and kick and Kiel felt it too!
"I felt him, I finally felt him move!"
