And She Moves

I just had to share this with someone and since hubbie is enjoying a boys weekend at PAX in Boston, I thought I’d share it with the bloggy world. Telling him over the phone just didn’t do it for me haha.

Last night I was hanging out on the couch watching Season 1 of 10 Things I Hate About You (ya know, to get ready for season 2 which starts on Monday). Don’t judge. Well anyway, while watching the “will they won’t they” of Kat and Patrick, baby Charlotte (my unborn child) started moving around. At this point I’m used to her moving. She kicks and shifts all of the time. But somehow I knew this time was different. I looked down and noticed my entire stomach moving. It was the most amazing thing I think I’ve ever felt. I know she’s real. I see the sonogram and feel her moving. But to actually SEE her moving around was just the most beautiful sight I’ve ever seen. It literally brought me to tears, realizing how much I already love her and I haven’t even met her yet. Just to know that in about 3 months I’ll be able to hold her in my arms and tell her about the beauty of the world…it’s just so amazing. I never knew I’d feel this way. I guess no one can prepare you for the miracle of life. To be honest, I’m glad. It’s so much more moving to experience it without any expectations.

So that’s it…just had to share. I’m sure you moms can relate and everyone else can’t. But thanks for reading anyway
