what’s kickin?
last week has been nothing but bliss since i’m finally able to actually feel (for certain!) the baby’s kick but sadly all ammar was able to get was my vague and all-over-the-place description of how each and every kick felt like.
last night as i was about to drift off to sleep i suddenly felt the usual happy thumping from inside so on impulse i took ammar’s hand and lay it on my tummy. we lay still for a while and a few seconds later the baby decided to high-five daddy and… thump! i felt ammar froze for a split second and we both peered at each other…and suddenly he smiled and asked, “baby?”
yes.
at that moment i felt overwhelmed with happiness, masyaallah. so we ended up in a happy cuddle all through the night. truly, it’s those few pleasures in life that i have to be really really thankful for. :)
