22 weeks pregnant- It's alive!

Last week on Friday, I came home from work and just wanted to take a rest. So I got into the bathtub and just laid there in the warm water, grateful for a working hot water heater. Now, I've been able to feel the baby kicking for about 3-4 weeks now, but it hasn't been something that Mike could share with me. Every time he put his hand on my tummy, when I felt a kick he said he didn't feel anything.

But when I was in the bath and feeling kicks that Friday, I could see my belly move too! It was kind of creepy and sort of weirded me out at first... but it quickly became super cool to be able to watch the movements as well as feel them.

When Mike came home I promptly made us lie down on the bed to watch my belly for any signs of life. We waited and waited, and finally he got to see good one, like something pushing for it's way out!

A week has gone by and we see even more movements when we sit and stare at my belly for any length of time.
