It's about 4am as I write this. I just had the most engrossing conversation. With our baby. Who is still in utero.
She started stirring around 3am, rousing me from my slumber. I tossed and turned for a bit, trying to find a more comfortable position for us both. Then, I responded to her tap-tap-tapping with my own. And she tapped back! I swear. I tapped on my belly at the same place where she was a knockin', and she would tap back. Like some kind of crazy baby morse code or something.
Then, the hormones kicked in and I started to well up a little and I decided it was probably time to roll out of bed and watch some infomercials.
I don't think I'll ever forget this moment - our first conversation together. Why is it that the best conversations always happen in the wee hours?
16 weeks and counting...
That's really beautiful, Reen. I had no idea that that ever occurred.
