So for awhile now I've been feeling Cookie move around, but the sensations have been very light. I've been referring to the movements as "taps." They are noticeable to me, but not strong enough to be felt by another person. Well, last night, he kicked it up a notch! (Yes, yes, pun intended, haha.)
We had dinner plans with some friends last night. I got home before Chris did, so I was just sitting on the couch and watching some TV while waiting for him. I felt a couple of taps, and these were definitely stronger than any I've felt before. I thought to myself, "Hmm, I wonder if these are strong enough to be felt from the outside?"
So we make it to the restaurant before our friends and as I'm telling Chris about the stronger taps I felt while I was at home, Cookie decided to do it again. At this point I was pretty confident that they were strong enough to be felt from the outside, so I grabbed Chris's hand, placed it on my belly, and said, "Here. I don't know if he'll do it again, but I think you might be able to feel this!" And sure enough, Cookie delivered another blow about 5 seconds later, directly where Chris's hand was. It was really neat to watch the smile slowly spread across his face as he said, "Wow!"
So was it a kick? A head butt? A high five? I don't know, but it was really amazing moment. :)

So awesome! I'm glad Cookie cooperated too. The first few times I put Mike's hand on my belly our little guy refused to kick. Guess he's stubborn like his mom!
Awwww, what an exciting milestone! Congrats!
