Moving Miracle

The more I feel this baby move, the more real and amazing being pregnant is to me. The movements have graduated from just little flutters, to definite kicks and wiggling! Its so precious. Derek can even feel it now!
Maybe it's because I'm super hormonal and emotional, (and I had music playing) but I was just sitting at the computer the other night and felt the baby kicking. I just sat there thanking God for this wonderful gift and blessing. It is truly amazing and reflecting on it brought me to tears. I've waited for this my whole life! :)
Of course Derek came into the room to find me with tears rolling down my face. And since he's never sure what emotional state he'll find me in these days :) he was worried I was upset about something. I assured him I was not... just needed to cry some tears of joy.
We are thankful that God has allowed us this blessing. Even the fact that people have been pregnant and giving birth since the beginning of time doesn't change how special and wonderful this little life is to us! :) We're so excited to become parents!
