First contact.
Yesterday, at 22 week and 6 days, Matt finally felt the baby kick! To this point, I always felt him moving around mostly when Matt wasn’t around, and if I did feel him and tried to get Matt to feel it, the baby would be still as soon as Matt put his hand on my belly. Matt thought I was just talking it up like the movements were strong but thought really they just couldn’t be felt from the outside.
Finally, last night I could feel him really well after dinner and told Matt to try to feel him. After a few seconds he felt a good kick. Matt’s words were, “That was a hell of a kick!” He said now he understands why I keep going on about feeling him all the time because he had no idea that the kicks were so strong. The scary thing is that the baby is still going to grow 6 or 7 more pounds before he’s born, so I can’t imagine what it’s going to feel like in a couple months!
