Monkey kicked Daddy!

I thought Monkey was getting pretty strong. I've been feeling it kick the doppler probe when I'm checking in on it's heartbeat. It was kicking me pretty consistently near my right hip tonight and I wondered if I might be able to feel it if I put my hand there. AND I DID! It felt like a little pulse. I had Justin put his hand there and, sure enough, within a minute he got kicked too! What a special moment. I am just blown away that it came so flippin' early! It's normally around 25 weeks before kicks can be felt from the outside!
Last night I was listening to the heartbeat and it slowed WAY down. Slower than my own heartbeat even! It sped back up about 30 seconds later, but I almost threw up when I heard it slow down like that. Today it was nice and strong. I've heard it's normal for the fetal heart rate to drop or even cease all together for a few seconds...but I'm still calling the doctor first thing tomorrow. Thank GOD I've got a little boxing kangaroo in there giving me some reassurance. I just pray nothing is wrong with it's little heart.
