I have been praying for the last week to be able to feel the baby move. I just needed the reassurance. Well, my prayer was answered in the middle of the night. It was 2:30 in the morning and I had just gone to check on Daisy. As soon as I got back into bed I laid my hands across my waist and felt the baby - not just inside, but with my hands on the outside. Then it happened again. I woke Jeff up and made him feel it too just to make sure I wasn't dreaming. He said he couldn't believe that the baby doesn't yet weigh a pound and you can feel it so strongly.
Top 5 Reasons I Love This Stage of Pregnancy:
1. Feeling the baby!
2. Daisy talking to my belly.
3. Telling people 'no' when they ask if I'm expecting, just for kicks.
4. Wearing big comfy hoodies every day.
5. Eating lemons with salt - yum!
Top 5 Reasons I Would Complain if I Weren't So Excited:
1. Too fat for big pants, not big enough for maternity.
2. Eating more than my entire family put together at every meal.
3. Back fat...I thought the baby was in my belly!
4. The pass-out low blood sugar feeling I get if I don't eat every 12 minutes.
5. Pregnancy acne - just like high school.

Feeling the baby move was probably the only thing I enjoyed about being pregnant! That is so fun. What an exciting time for your family. Are you guys going to find out what you are having?
It really does make you feel so much better to feel the baby moving. It is such reassurance that everything is okay. I'm glad you are doing so well.
