Baby Jerk can kick

July 21, 2007

For a few weeks now we’ve been calling him/her Baby Jerk. I’ve felt lots of kicks and movement, sometimes even felt them externally and seen my belly move. Every time Aaron put his hand on my belly, the little sucker will quit. Hence the name “Baby Jerk”.

The kicks have become stronger as time goes on. Thursday, Maisie Cat was sitting on my stomach purring contently for quite some time, then I felt the baby kick a bit, and Maisie took off. I guess she felt it too, hehe. Yesterday I was taking a bath and actually saw my stomach move. The movement even made the water ripple a bit. Of course, when Aaron comes home the baby doesn’t cooperate. Dumb Baby Jerk…

So last night we make it home from Carreta’s and I decided to relax on the couch. Usually this makes the baby active, so Aaron put his hand on my belly. Well Baby Jerk decided to cooperate and gave him a pretty good kick to the hand. Just one, but that was better than nothing :)

    Brandi, that is the funniest thing! Sofia, would do the same thing. We would have to try and trick her to get her to move for anyone else. Tony, would try talking to her to get her to move for him, but nope.. she wasnt budging! Finally, she started to but we had to kind of trick her. He had to put his hand on my belly really lightly and keep it there. She kicks more often for people now, but if the hand goes on to hard, she stops. That's crazy how they are doing the same things! Isnt it crazy to see your belly move! We're going to try and get it on video one of these days to add to her website. I'm so glad you are finally getting the kicks!! It seems like they get even more active with time :0)
