Sharing the Joy

As the belly grows, so does the frequency and intensity of the kicks and wiggles from my little "renter". I really love this part of pregnancy. I marvel at the miracle taking place and feel reassured that things are on the right track with every bump. I could be happy just to sit all day and watch and feel my belly move. This is also when my sweetheart can feel the baby and be more a part of what is happening.

This is a new experience for my kids too. Sweet A has been so excited and anxious to feel the baby move, she keeps asking if it's big enough. Well, today she got to feel the baby for the first time. She placed her hand on my belly and her sweet little pixie face lit up when she felt the wiggles under her hand. So cute! She tried to get her brother over for a similar experience, but he was too interested in trying to convince me that he needed cookies for dinner to pay attention. Not to worry, little man, there's still plenty of time left to capture an experience. =)

I love that part of pregnancy too. At least until the end...both of my girls decided to start with the gymnastics at that point, and there just isn't room in there for an 8 1/2-9 lb. baby to do flips in there.

This is so exciting! You are making me baby hungry!
Natalie cried (with joy of course) when she felt the baby kick for the first time, it was so sweet. Keep us posted on the gender, I vote boy!
