On Monday, June 26^th, just before lunch, I was in my boss’s office, talking to him and Amber. The two of them were talking about something that was interesting to me at the time, but I sure don’t remember what it was now. Anyway, as they talked, I sat down in a chair and placed my hand on my belly, which has become habit by this point. Suddenly, out of nowhere, I feel a foot (or a hand) hit my palm. My eyes got really big and my jaw dropped open. I was in shock! I had felt her move around for a couple of weeks, but I had not yet felt her on the outside like this.

Needless to say, I was extremely excited. It was a strange and neat feeling all wrapped up in one. Finally I could share this with others. When there was a break in their conversation, I told Roger and Amber about it. I put Amber’s hand on my belly to see if Baby would do it again, but of course, she wouldn’t. Then I couldn’t wait to tell Brian, but he was in DC that week and I couldn’t talk to him during the day, so it had to wait. I told him that evening and he seemed excited. When he got home that Friday night, Baby was active and he was able to feel her moving around. It was a neat experience for both of us.
