Well, last night it happened. Jeanette and I were on the couch watching Elf. I had my head in her lap, and I finally felt it. Our baby kicked me in the head for the first time ever. There’s not much cooler and weirder than having the baby INSIDE your wife kick you THROUGH your wife.

Those of you who are fathers will remember the first time you felt your son or daughter kick you while inside their mother. I strongly recommend reliving the experience. Here’s how:

1. Get your kid to roll up into a tiny ball
2. Have your wife lay on top of them
3. Now you lay on top of them
4. Experience the magic of those little fists and feet kick you through your wife again… but get up before your child runs out of air. (That part is VERY important, as they just spent about 2 minutes under 2 grown adults whose combined weight is potentially around 350 - 400+ lbs.)

    
    

   Or, if you aren’t too keen on potentially squashing the guts out of your child, just lay on the floor and have little Johnny or little Susie (those are your kids names… you should have recognized them.) come and just kick you a few times in the head as hard as they can. You may think to yourself, “Hey! These kids are a LOT bigger! They kick really hard now!” That’s when you get to thank God for how well they’ve grown since you felt them move for the first time, and also thank Adidas for making their soccer cleats so darn affordable.

   Whether you pick the first or the second option, I hope you can take some time to relive what it was like when YOU were waiting for your first baby to be born.
