5-7-07 - dancing Madeleine

I have to admit - I knew this day was coming. The thing is, I didn't expect it so soon!

Ted and I actually watched Madeleine move my stomach tonight. It was very "Alien" but also very cool. After getting home from work, Ted and I were on the couch watching the Food Network, just like we do every night. I felt Madeleine squirming around, and every once in a while I would feel a "pop" on my right side, just below my rib cage. I looked down at just the right moment and saw my shirt jump in conjunction with the pop. After making sure that was really what I saw, I told Ted to check out my stomach. He watched intently, and sure enough, she jumped again and he saw it too.

I don't know if I was contorted weird and squishing her space, or what, but it was very cool to see that!
