Weird Experience

Last night Emma was on the move quite a bit. I first noticed her moving while I was taking a bath. The water kept moving around in the bath tub and I was sitting perfectly still. After a freaked out a little bit, I noticed I could see my stomach moving. Then it was really cool to see her perfecting her gymnastic routines. I had Michael watch my stomach to see her move. Of course, every time he wasn’t watching she would move and the times he was watching he never saw anything. Finally he saw her move and just to prove it really was her, I placed the tv remote on my stomach so he could see that move. He also said ‘Emma, if you hear Daddy, kick twice’ and she did; it was a pretty cool experience.

While at work today I had three people come up to me and feel my belly. It was a little weird at first, but some people are just really into pregnant women or pregnancy in general. The first one that touched my belly was a guy who cleans the therapy gym. He was passing by and said “oh look at the little belly” then continued to touch my belly. The next one was a CNA who just came up to me and said “wow look at how big you have gotten over the last couple weeks” as she was unzipping my jacket to feel my stomach. The last one was a nurse who said “I didn’t know you were pregnant” as she touched my belly and that I looked good for being so far along. I really don’t mind if people are touching my belly, but I think it would be a little different if it were complete strangers. At least, I know of these people that I work with.
