I'm Feelin' You, Baby!

WEEK 22
Last night, Raegan thought I might be able to feel the baby, on account of it had "the hiccups." I placed my hand on her belly and did feel a couple of slight bumps in my hand. Maybe it was a psychological thing and I was just feeling my own pulse. It kind of felt like there was maybe a hamster in there. Or maybe as though Raegan had eaten a lot of Mexican. Or one little Mexican. In any case, it was a very alien-ish experience, though an emotional one. I'm thinking when I kept pushing on it, the kid was probably getting annoyed and was just kicking to get dad out of its womb.

It must be pretty bored in there, right? So beyond playing with the umbilical cord, kicking and flailing around is about all it's got in the way of entertainment. I offered to slip a couple Scrabble© tiles up in there, just to give the baby something to do, you know? Maybe help it learn to read, even. But for whatever reason, Raegan wasn't so hot on the idea. Women. What can you do?
