Every day I think the Bun's movements are going to become more normalized, blend into the background, or at the very least, not catch my attention so much. But every day this little one surprises me with how much she is growing.
Yesterday she started kicking a bunch, probably because dinner was tostadas and chips with bean dip. As usual when she really gets going, I put my hand over her to try to feel it a little more, and maybe to get her to calm down some with gentle pressure. When I did that, I was able to better understand her movements, which are getting so big! It felt like I could perceive her head coming up right before her legs did, in a sort of rocking motion, from one end of my hand to the other.
It was so incredible. At that moment I related it to feeling Ethan wriggle in my arms and had a flash of what it will be like to hold our little Bun. Really hold a little person we made, see her arms and legs and fingers and toes, and kiss her little head. It was just a flash, but definitely a great moment to remember.
The First Time I Felt You Were a Person.
