Peanut is kicking like a pro!

Peanut really started kicking this week starting Monday! It is such a neat experience to have the baby moving and kicking so that I can feel it. I was actually tearing up when I realized what I was feeling. Yesterday I joked with Eric that it felt like I had a whole soccer team in my stomach! Peanut was moving and grooving off and on for most of the day! Right now you can't see or feel the kicks from the outside. It is like my own little secret that I share when Peanut moves. I love this feeling (although slightly painful at times) as I feel so connected to Peanut now. This will help me get through the two week wait that we have to find out if Peanut is a boy or a girl (April 5th can't come soon enough!). I am so ready to know the sex of the baby so that I can start calling him/her by their actual name. The name Peanut just doesn't seem right anymore now that Peanut is strong enough to kick my stomach!
