Baby Bear #3

Sweet Baby Bear,                                                               June 3, 2012

Today, FINALLY, you let your daddy feel you wriggle around. I’ve been able to feel you move for quite some time now but you were just too small for him, or anyone else, to feel.

It’s a quiet Sabbath day, all the best things with you seem to happen on Sundays, and we were out at Grandma and Grandpa Reed’s house doing laundry. I was lying on the couch feeling you flip, kick, roll, and dance. I looked at your daddy and said, “Feel right here! I can feel him on the outside!” He put his hand down and you abruptly quit moving.

Slowly though, maybe you thought he removed his hand, you started moving again. He jerked back his hand in shock and awe and was staring at me with his eyes opened wide.

“Is THAT what you feel all the time!?!? It’s like an alien moving around inside of you!”

So, that is why his phone plays the X-files theme song every time I call.

There’s something you need to understand now, Baby Bear, your dad is pretty much a child stuck in a 26 year old man’s body…you two will be the best of friends.

   

Love, 

Your ever adoring Mother.
