Something's a-flutter!

I think I'm finally feeling my little girl move inside me.

And what a weird feeling it is. To know that a human life is moving and growing and living inside me is hard to wrap my brain around. It's almost like the movie "Alien" as I wait for something to crawl out of my stomach. Eww. Terrible thought, I know.

But it really is surreal. I can't believe I'm responsible for growing this life (well, me and God). I'm trying to enjoy every new thing that happens to me on this journey. I never thought that I would experience any of this. I hoped and prayed it would but I thought I'd have to live vicariously through my friends and family, hanging onto their every word as they described their baby's kicks and bumps and twists and turns. Oh, how I wanted that for myself!

And now, praise the Lord, I've got it!

  1. You, God, and Todd, too! :) Woo-hoo, glad you're feeling your little goldfish swimming around in there. Those movements are so awesome to feel.

  2. Oh DeLynn so fun to hear. I remember feeling kind of sad once I had my babies knowing I wouldn't feel them inside of me anymore. It was such a special connection. Something no one else can share with her. What a glorious time!!
