Head, Shoulders, Knees & Toes

Little Lily is going to be a very busy girl, I can tell. I've recently been able to feel little knees, fists, elbows, and whatever else poking at my stomach. It's a weird feeling to have a little creature moving around inside your body. I can feel little hard spots that move around, especially when I push on them. Those spots poke back! I recently read a little blurb online somewhere that at about 25 weeks, her little hearbeat may be able to be heard if Jesus puts his ear to my stomach, depending on her position. We tried, she kicked him. He coudn't hear her hearbeat, but it was almost more fun just to have her kick him. His new game is to tap on my belly to see if he can get her to kick. It works sometimes.

A lot of the time, Jesus will put his hand on my belly to feel for kicks, but since he's also watching tv, he forgets to pay attention. So when she kicks me so hard I feel it in my toes and it makes my eyes water, he barely notices. Must be a good show on tv! The other day I got his attention long enough to feel her moving around just below the surface. He thought that was crazy. I agree. Now I know to hit the pause button. I love the pause button.
