I stand in awe of God's creation as each day a baby grows in the womb.The intricate details that are formed, the fact that he kicks when I play music, or wakes when I want to go to sleep, or even wakes up with my husbands 5:30am alarm sound! When I poke my tummy he pokes back! I'm still trying to figure out what part
of him is poking me, is it his little arms or his feet? which way is he positioned? oh man I wish I had a scanning machine on hand 24/7!! In over 21 weeks there has not been one day that goes by when I wake up without a smile, and since Christmas eve there hasn't been a day that I haven't felt my daily dose of kicks to keep reminding me of the little character that is developing inside.
A wonderful lady from Leef Magazine sat next to me at a conference last week, and said something really profound. She said when the baby comes its as though you have to meet someone new and get to know them. Since that conversation, all I can think about is what is this little guy going to be like? Is he going to be crazy and energetic like his mom or an extremely well composed, balanced, fitness fanatic and wise man like his daddy? Who will he look like? Blonde like mommy, or brown haired like daddy? Will he be tall, average height or short? Will he love sleep like mommy, or function on next to no sleep like daddy? Yes these are only a FEW of the questions that occupy my mind most of the day. And wow, its the best distraction I have ever had!!
