Monday night was a special night. Luke was able to feel our son move for the first time. Previously our son would stop moving every time Luke would put his hands on my belly, but not this time. Just to make sure Luke wasn’t mistaking our sons kicks for something else I would tell him right when I could feel the baby move and asked if he could feel him. That seemed to do the trick and Luke felt confident that he was in fact feeling his son inside me. I can only imagine what that must have felt like for him. A dad doesn’t have much to do with a baby being developed compared to the mother, so I think that them feeling the baby move, watching the ultrasounds and seeing pictures makes it more real and exciting and it gives them a sense that they are in fact part of this amazing story and that in time they will come face to face with a child that is undoubtedly theirs.
