[In creepy Dr. Frankenstein voice] It's al-iiiiiii-ve!!

Last night was an amazing night! I was able to feel our little girl moving for the first time. Of course, Elizabeth has been feeling them move for quite some time now, but they are finally kicking hard enough to be felt on the outside.

Elizabeth called me at work yesterday to tell me that she thought she could feel them from the outside. When I got home I asked if there were any babies awake, and she said there were. Unfortunately though, I wasn't able to feel anything. She said the kicks didn't feel as hard as they had earlier in the day. Based on where she was feeling those kicks, I would guess that it was our little boy.

Finally, around 9:00 last night she said she could feel kicks again, and they were harder this time. Based on the position this time (high on the right side), it must have been the girl. I had my hand on her belly for only a few moments when I felt the first one. I continued to feel for about the next 10 minutes or so and got to feel five to ten kicks. One of them was really hard, I bet I could have seen her skin move if I had been looking instead of feeling.

I have always known that our babies are in there, but with each of these milestones it becomes more and more real. Each ultrasound has made them more real, and definitely feeling the movement now is a big step. I look forward to continuing "getting to know" them until I can finally meet them in person.

I also have a couple of pictures of Elizabeth to post finally. She spent some time yesterday getting the lambs all situated on the top of the hutch on the changing table. She did a really good job; they look so cute. The first picture shows off all of the lambs arranged. I also attached a second shot that hows off her belly and how good she looks.
