Friday I felt our baby girl kick for the first time! AMAZING. People told me it would take a couple times for me to realize what it was but that wasn't the case here. She must have kicked pretty hard (did it feel like she used laces or inside of the foot, her daddy asked) because I immediately thought, 'that's the baby kicking'. It didn't feel like anything else but a kick! It has happened a couple times since and I love every time! It's a reminder that yes, there is a baby in there and she is doing well.
Every day the reality that we are having a DAUGHTER seems to become more and more real. We can hardly wait for her to be here. When I'm just sitting on the couch watching TV I like to think about having her there next to me or laying on my chest. Todd likes to talk about how she will be with HIM all the time and in her little carrier on his chest while he works and coaches. (I'm letting him think I will willingly give her up for now....) Basically, both of us can't wait to meet our little sweetheart!
We pray our daughter will be a joyful, others-centered, passionate person who desires and follows hard after our Lord. If you're the praying type, we'd love for you to join us in praying for our baby!
so very happy for the two of you. You can count on me to be praying for you both and for your new baby girl! Blessings all around!

ReplyDeleteSo happy for you both! I can't wait to meet my first granddaughter. I pray for her (and you) every day and will now add your specific request that she be all that you ask - with you and Todd for parents I just know she'll learn to love Jesus. I can't wait to show you the adorable pink baby girl stuff I've already bought for her!!!!
