First kick

I felt you kick for the first time today. I had been reading all week about what it would feel like and wondering when it was going to finally happen. Houston and I were up in Logan visiting my family for the weekend and we were sitting next to each other in church. About halfway through the sacrament hymn number 175, O God, the Eternal Father, which is one of my favorites, I felt a distinct little kick on the side of my belly. It wasn't very hard, but I was sure it was you. I told Houston and he smiled. A few minutes later I felt you again, this time it felt like you just brushed up against me or rolled over. It was amazing, but a little strange at the same time. I have never felt anything like it before and have been feeling you ever since. I thought it was really neat to feel you for the first time in church, when we were singing. Music has always been a huge part of my life and I love the hymns.

My favorite line of this song is "With no apparent beauty, That man should him desire, He was the promised Savior, to purify with fire."

Later that day Houston and I were laying down stairs watching a movie when I felt you kick again. I told Houston and he said "I wanna feel it!" He put his hand on my belly and you kicked it in about 2 seconds. I thought it was so unfair that I have been waiting weeks to feel you and all he had to do was ask once! He thought it was really neat though and has been trying to get you to do it again ever since. We've both made it to 17 weeks and I am really excited that I can feel you and be reassured every time you kick or roll over.
