Last night I asked Paul to start using his Ne.xus 7 as an alarm clock since he now gets up about an hour earlier than I do and the alarm clock is on my side of the bed.
Of course, this morning when it went off he fumbled with it for a bit before accidentally knocking it off the nightstand (scaring the crap out of the cat who was sleeping at our feet) and then fumbled about for a few more minutes until he finally figured out how to shut it off.
Right after things quieted down I felt a few big thumps coming from way down low just above my pubic bone. I’ve felt a lot more of what I’m pretty sure are kicks and punches in the last week but this morning was the first time where there was zero doubt in my mind of what I was feeling. (I think maybe it was so low that it was actually beneath where my placenta is and so I was able to feel it more clearly?) I put my hand on my uterus and felt a few more hard thumps on my hand!
I called for Paul to come over but by the time he put his hand on my belly the kicking had stopped.
I guess this kid does NOT appreciate being woken up! It was like he was saying, “Yo, keep it down out there! Can’t you see a baby’s trying to sleep?”
