A note to Baby Tarzan regarding your movement in my belly

Dear Baby Tarzan,

I just wanted to tell you how estatic I am to feel you moving around in my belly so much!  To be honest, before I ever got pregnant, I wondered if I would like feeling a little person in my belly.  I sort of thought it would be weird, almost like an alien.  I’m sorry.  

It makes my heart so happy to feel you moving around in there!  Last night, for the first time, I saw my belly move and it was amazing!  I picture you doing little somersaults in there.  Who knows, maybe you’ll be a gymnast or a great little soccer player.  As I was sitting on the couch, indian style because you seem to move the most when I sit like that, I had my hands on my lower belly to try to focus on feeling you.  

And that’s when you kicked the crap out of me and I saw my belly move.  Don’t worry, it was awesome and I hope that you continue to kick me.  As a soon-to-be mom, I already know that I’m going to worry about you all of the time, so do your mom a favor and keep on letting me know that you are doing good in your temporary house.  And please know that I absolutely love it!

So after I felt you last night I ran upstairs to tell your dad the awesome news and I sat down on the couch in his office.  He came over, sat next to me, and put his hands on my belly because he wanted to feel you too.  Well, sadly, after much waiting, we gave up on him feeling you at that moment.  I know that your dad wanted to feel you and I felt just a little sad that I get to feel you moving about in there and he doesn’t.  I know that the day he feels you will be so fantastic, so I have a little favor to ask of you…

If you could keep on moving, even when our hands are on my belly I’d really appreciate that.  If you hear his voice, I’m giving you the go ahead to kick him.  He’ll love it and he probably can’t even realize how cool it is!  So please, my little boy, cooperate the next time that your dad wants to feel you.  It will warm his heart in so many ways!

Thanks!

I love you more than you know and keep on growing and staying healthy!  You rock!

Love,

Your mom
