This child intrigues me...

When I woke up yesterday, I awoke to one of the miracles of life that I had never before experienced. My normally quite and laid back baby girl was having a party! Don't get me wrong, she has her days where she is all over the place but yesterday was something new and amazing for me. As I was laying in bed trying to move without making my back pain worse, I saw my entire stomach move and watched either an elbow or a knee make its way across about 5 inches of my stomach. My first thought was what was that!?! I ended up laying there for almost an hour watching her make my stomach move. It was fascinating to me to see her little body parts moving inside me. Being able to feel them was wonderful in itself but watching her move was a whole new level of understanding that there is this little baby in there. It is overwhelming how much love you can have for someone you have never seen or met before. Nathan was at the fire house on a 24 hour shift so he has not seen her do it yet but I hope that he will get to see it this weekend!! I spent most of yesterday waiting to see if she would do it again but of course, no luck until last night when I was at work... I was sitting there on a 9-1-1 line listening to this guy (who by the way called the police to tell us his roommate took his drugs and he wanted to know how to get his drugs back) when she started again! It was so funny watching her THROUGH MY CLOTHES and I was trying so hard not to laugh while I was on the phone with this guy because the Duke Blue Devil on my shirt was dancing all over my stomach! I was just cracking up.

It's just amazing how this small miracle of life is growing away, getting bigger and stronger and how literally over night I could "see" her where as before I could only "feel" her. To anyone who might read this that is either having trouble getting pregnant, or taking a journey more like ours where you have the heart breaking trials of trying to stay pregnant, don't give up... this is 110% worth ride. God will get you there one of these days, just have faith. Here's to wishing your rainbow finds it's way to you...
