Kicking!

Yes! Alexander has been kicking! A lot! It is a funny feeling and I can't really describe it. Of course, NOTHING describes this feeling very well. It's kind of like popping pop corn in your belly. James has been able to feel him now and is loving every moment. A couple nights ago, I was tossing and turning, and accidentally woke up James. Alex was moving a lot and I placed his hand on my belly. Finally, after Alex decided to let Daddy know it was him, James gasps and asks "Was that a kick?" I got so excited! It's been weeks and I've felt so bad since James hasn't been able to share all of this with me. He's happy now that he's finally made some sort of contact. It's crazy though, Alex is only super active when I'm relaxing or getting ready to fall asleep. I guess he's starting early on making my life interesting. I'm now 23 weeks along, more than halfway through the pregnancy. 17 more weeks to go and I can hardly stand it!
