That Little Flutter

I haven't written that much in a while. It's been a little crazy. We're just busy, busy. I know I need to slow down a bit but things just keep coming up. My mother is reading this right now and she'll probably call me later to say, "You need to slow down. You need to be home, resting." I know mom, I know. I'll get there!

We have another appointment tomorrow. This ultrasound will hopefully allow us to see those things we couldn't see last time. Let's just pray our little girl is cooperative this time! She's been moving around so much lately, it's no wonder she often finds herself in a cockeyed position.

It is an odd feeling . . . feeling her move so much, knowing there is a little person getting bigger and bigger inside of me. I think it's one of my favorite things about being pregnant. There are so many things I don't like. I don't mean to complain, after all, I wanted this so badly for so long. But it's been hard. My body just feels worn and achy all the time. And then when I feel her little flutter, it makes it all worth it. I'm pretty sure I'll forget all the discomforts once she's here and I get to hold her close.

We continue to believe for perfect growth and development. I'll let you know how it goes.

I love your "baby countdown"! How totally cool! I'm praying for your appointment today. I know it will be good!
I know what you mean about the busy, tired stuff. And don't worry about complaining a bit. Pregnancy is not easy and while it is of course worth every uncomfortable moment, it still is hard to walk through it. You're doing a wonderful job though and I'm so proud of how disciplined you have been. You and Dave are going to be such wonderful parents to your little girl!
