On Tuesday morning I felt Quincy move for the first time ever! John and I had stayed at the Peabody Hotel on Monday night for our anniversary. Tuesday morning I was lying in bed admiring the beautiful Arkansas River view. John was still sleeping and our room was silent. Suddenly I felt what I imagine a bag of popcorn would feel when a kernal bursts into the light airy piece of popcorn, hits the side of the bag and bounces back off. I can't do justice to describing what it felt like. But I knew immediately what it was! Baby Quincy was squirming!
I also felt him today while baby Stephen was taking a nap on me! Stephen was breathing really hard (eating, sleeping, pooing is hard work on a little man) and I could feel his tummy pressing into mine. I thought that I'd move him up a little because it felt like he was making my bladder sort of spasm every time he took a breath. Well, I went to move him up and he was already much higher on my chest than I thought. NO part of him was touching where I felt the little pulsing sensation. It was Quincy. He was just sayin "yo, sup?" to his cuz.
Later Julie was giving Stephen a bath and I was lying on the floor in his room just listening to them in the bathroom. I was examining my baby fat belly (which has totally grown this week) and I saw Quincy move my tummy. Just like 3 little movements he made my belly jump out. I have just been amazed. Everytime that I've felt a movement it has been when I've been really still and quiet, otherwise I think that I would have missed it. I'm totally amazed and can't believe how real this has all gotten just since Monday.

That is so cool! I can't even imagine what it feels like! When I was little and my Mom was preggers with my little brother, she would put a thing of popcorn on her stomach and every time he would kick it would make the popcorn fly off her stomach, he kicked that hard...it was SO COOL! That's what this made me think of. :) Hope you're feeling well! Love you!
Ohhh, how exciting! Stuff like that starts to make it seem a little more "real", like gee, there really is something in there. Things only get more exciting from here!
