The Coolest Thing

Dear Bean:
The coolest thing since being pregnant happened on Friday!! You kept tapping me up by the ribs so I put my hand there to feel and all of a sudden I felt a body part. A foot or hand or knee or elbow? I have no idea. But you pushed back at me and moved a little then you pulled back and I couldn't feel it anymore. But it was amazing. It scared me at first- I didn't know what had just happened. I pulled my hands away and I think my face turned red. So all weekend I have been poking at you in there trying to get a feel for something else. And I think I got another feel of something today. It was smaller. So I'm thinking last time it was a foot or knee and this time it was a hand or elbow. I'm not sure. But I do know that you get stronger and stronger by the day.
I've also noticed that when I sleep and you are moving a lot in there that I have dreams of you moving. You woke me up twice last night. Once you were kicking me in the rib and the next time you were jumping on my bladder.
My most favorite thing to do lately is just lay in bed or on the couch with my shirt up and watch you make my belly wiggle. It really makes me laugh sometimes.
I think you are going to be super hyperactive. Aunt Erin says it's because I drink too many caffinated beverages....I think she's wrong about the reasoning. If you are super hyperactive then it's most likely because you are my child.
The other night Aunt Lindsey tried to feel you in my belly. You didn't respond you her rubbing you and talking to you. Then Grandma laid her hand on real quick and you gave her 2 good kicks. Grandma told Lindsey you didn't kick for her is because you're a boy and she keeps calling you a girl. We will see in about 3 months! I can't even believe it! 3 months!! Ahhhh.

Well Bean I should get going now.
Love you,
Mommy
