“The baby kicks are our little secret.” I found this in my wife’s notebook
I’m a soon-to-be dad🧑, and I found this written in my wife’s notebook.
I asked her if she’d be okay with me sharing it here, and she said yes.
“Your kicks are a secret only the two of us know.
It was 4:20 in the morning. The sky was still dark. Half asleep, I suddenly felt you move — soft and light, like a tiny fish blowing bubbles underwater.
I woke up instantly and quietly placed my hand on my belly.
As if you knew, you kicked again. Gentle, but strong.
I couldn’t help but smile in the dark. Your dad was sleeping peacefully beside me, breathing slowly and deeply. The whole world was asleep, and yet somehow, only the two of us were awake together.
You stretched and turned inside me while I whispered to you from the outside. We haven’t even met yet, but we’ve already spent countless days and nights together.
You’ve heard my heartbeat. I’ve felt your little rolls and kicks. You are the tiny person hidden inside my body, and also the warmest secret I carry through this world.
My baby, take your time. I’ll be waiting for you.”
Obviously, I’ll never be able to truly experience what baby kicks feel like myself. But reading her words made me genuinely feel the happiness and love she carries inside her heart.
Would love to hear some of your own little moments of happiness too. 🥰
