More Kicking

Zipper was kicking something fierce last night, and it was the first time Randy got to feel her moving too. We've seen the goo-goo looks parents give on TV when they feel the baby kick, but for some reason we were both still really surprised and awestruck with the event. Interestingly, Zipper isn't really "kicking." Rather, Emily found out during her ultrasound last week that Zipper is shrugging and standing - she's sort of stuck in the corner of the womb and more or less sitting on her legs, facing backwards. This is great news because we were a little concerned that Emily wasn't feeling more movement. It also means that rather than the small flutters of movement being the norm, instead Emily usually feels these huge upheavals as Zipper tries to stand and extricate herself from the corner. The doctor was not concerned at all by the baby's position and we expect either she'll get herself unstuck, or the womb will grow larger and she'll have more freedom to move around.
