Is there anything more wonderful than the first kick of your child in utero? Well, ok. Maybe not the first kick. This is my third pregnancy and still the initial stirrings leave me more with a sense of bewilderment (baby or bowels?) rather than a conscious appreciation for baby’s first movements. By the fifth or sixth kick, reality sets in. It is absolutely amazing! Oh, yes, I am actually pregnant! Ha!
Over the last week or so, baby has been on the move. I find it wonderfully comforting and could just sit for hours waiting for each kick, if I had the time. It’s funny how something so soothing this early in the game becomes so nerve racking towards the end when kick-counts and bed rest kick in!
Perhaps I am just getting all teary-eyed and romantic about it since I am sure that this will be my last pregnancy. Womb closed for business after this one, folks. I love my children like bonkers, but I am getting way too old for this. That, and after the last two c-sections the scarring on my uterus has rendered it pretty much useless to future pregnancies. Come August I will have three. I feel triply blessed!
P.S. Soooooo excited ….. today we find out the sex of the baby! Stay tuned!
ooh can’t wait!!!
OOO exciting! I loved feeling movement too. It’s probably the one thing I miss most about being pregnant.
MK, how great! I’m glad it’s going well and glad to know I have such a good resource when my time comes…
C-section city! You go girl.
Enjoy all the kicks.
I am so happy you are finding out and sharing the sex of your baby. Can’t wait!
