"Ella, what's wrong? Is your stomach bothering you?" Eric leaned in nervously when he noticed that the usually cheerful Ella had suddenly gone quiet.
Ella quickly grabbed his large hand. "Honey, our babies are moving! Haha... they moved!"
Fetuses typically start moving around four months, but it was now five months, and the two little ones had only just made their first faint movements. Ella was both surprised and delighted!
She had been worried that something was wrong because the babies hadn't moved at all before.
However, the checkups hadn't revealed any issues.
Eric, overcome with excitement, knelt down and pressed his ear against Ella's belly. He felt a faint movement, but then it was quiet again.
