Ain't That A Kick In The Head

"My head keeps spinning;
I go to sleep and keep grinning;
If this is just the beginning,
My life's gonna be beautiful..."

~Dean Martin, from "Ain't That A Kick In The Head?"


One evening in November my husband and I were sitting on the couch after dinner watching Wheel of Fortune. I had felt little Lizzie moving around inside of me but I had never felt her kick before. It kinda felt like the nervous feeling of butterflies when she would move around. My husband decided to lay his head next to my belly to see if he could hear her moving around inside when all of the sudden the belly jumped. "Was that a kick?" my husband asked. I replied, "I don't know.I have never felt her kick before..." Then little Lizzie moved again, this time with greater force. POW! Our little girl kicked my husband again, still with his head on my belly. And from that day on, our little Lizzie has been swirling and kicking and moving around.
