Loving the Feeling of Life

I have been to this stage of pregnancy three times before - and the memories simply cannot do justice to the reality of experiencing it live! I love, love, love feeling this little life moving around. I look forward to it all day - he is most active late at night and in the morning - his kicks and jabs getting stronger day by day. I love the gentle reminders that he sends me that he is doing well and growing.... Reece has had the patience to wait around long enough to feel him move and his eyes lit up. Chase can't hold out long enough and rather just says "cool" and runs off even though he has felt nothing. And Pierce...we haven't caught him long enough to give it a try. But this little baby brother has become one of the family - he is included in conversations and is already regularly chosen for which "team" he is going to be on (a true advantage to having 4)! I am so very thankful to have this day and this baby!

Father, I praise You and thank You today for the gift of this precious little boy. Thank You for blessing me with quiet and private moments with him to enjoy his development and cherish this miracle. Please continue to form and shape him and prepare us to welcome him into our family. Thank You Father for creating and for giving and providing. We are aware of Your goodness and proclaim it today - through the blessing of family. Amen.

alani is much like chase, she stays long enough to be compliant, but doesn't feel anything and then says she did :) too funny! very fun to know your little guy is growing big and strong these days. . . it is a great feeling when you are daily reminded. . . . any day now for us (okay, two weeks, but we're ALLOWED any day now :)
