Baby is Moving!!!

Boy, I can't wait to be done with this class! I am sitting here, trying to study so that I can finish my final exam tonight (it is a take-home exam) and I keep feeling flutters and movement in my belly. They are making it soooo hard to concentrate! My sister-in-law, Brandi, told me that she thinks that it kind-of "feels like you are being tickled from the inside" and I think that she is right. While it isn't that shy-away, jerky tickle that you might get when someone rubs your foot just right, the tickle from the baby makes me want to laugh out loud! Feeling the baby move warms me from the inside out. How amazing that there is life growing in me that I can feel?! With all of these flutters and movements, my mind is constantly being directed back towards the Creator of Life and the utter awe I have in the way that He created us women to actually be able to carry life inside of us. While I would (truly) love for Tim to experience pregnancy so that I can get a bit more sympathy (giggle!! Mainly in the first trimester when I was so nauseous and tired, I would say to him, "I wish you could be pregnant for just three days so you can understand!") I would not (so far) trade this experience for a million bucks! I thank God that He is allowing me an inside look/feel at/of the miracle of life.

Okay, maybe now that I have that down, I can focus a bit more on my exam ... maybe!

Wish me luck.

I LOVE this blog! Now I can feel like we live closer and are more involved in our day-to-day goings on. Looking forward to seeing the nursery photos, and what a great idea to hold a sign up next to your belly-keep doing that!
Love,
