he's definitely moving in there!

if cash's current state inside the womb is indicative of his personality out of the womb we are in for the ride of our lives! he moves ALL. THE. TIME. seriously. and his favorite time to play? 10:30 pm. right as this momma is trying to go to sleep.

stan doesn't get home until around 8:45 pm on wednesdays and thursdays due to work, so i usually try to eat a light snack around 6:00 and cook dinner when he is on his way home so we can eat as a family. especially now that we finally have a dining room table again! yesterday was no exception, so we ate dinner around 9:00 and by the time i had cleaned up and made breakfast for tomorrow, it was about 10:00 and i was beat. stan is usually still winding down around then and i decided to head to bed. for me, this means catching up on my words with friends games before i finally shut the lights off.

as i was laying there i felt the strongest movement from Cash i have ever felt! a couple moments later i felt it again. i have felt him move a lot lately, but until last night it had just been like he was swimming around in there, flipping and such. this time it felt like an actual kick. like he was doing karate or something! i put the phone down and pulled my shirt up out of curiosity, just to see if i could see it from the outside. i didn't really think i would be able to, but lo and behold, i could see small jolts in my belly! i called for stan to hurry up and get in here so he could see it also! we patiently waited and finally Cash performed! stan was so amazed! of course, he put his hand on my belly and Cash immediately stopped moving. stan eventually went back into the living room and i went back to my words with friends game, thinking cash had gone back to sleep.

Cash started moving again 10 minutes later, as stan was shutting things down. I told him to hurry and get in here again and stan felt his baby boy move for the first time! it's true, i cried. it was so special to finally share something with stan that is tangible regarding his son. it's so weird growing a little baby inside of you but not being able to physically share it with the one person you love most. we can finally enjoy those times together now! so exciting!
