Knock knock...

SHE is on the move. This little girl moves around all kinds.  Oh, yeah, she's a girl.  We found out on the 7th, my mom's b-day, that we were having a GIRL!  I can't believe it.  While we were having the ultrasound, I saw her move and felt her at the same time and was able to identify THAT feeling with HER!  Since then, she has been distracting me while I sit in class, sit and read at Starbucks, and while I sleep.  I can't not pay attention to her because I find it so incredible that I have a baby inside of me and that she is moving around and I FEEL her!  Then a few days ago, as I was laying in bed, I had Craig put his hand on my belly to see if he was able to feel her...she gave one firm kick/punch/something fierce and he totally felt her-what a miracle that is.  I feel that we are both more easily able to connect with this little girl now that we know a little more about her (moving around now) and that I feel her-constantly.

We are so happy, (jump) we have been blessed by so many people and have a plastic bin of stuff ranging from infant to 3T, whatever that is.  In a few days I will leave my wonderful husband for a week in So Cal with my wonderful friends and family (rumble and  thump, apparently she is pretty thrilled about it too). 

My relationship with Craig blows me away.  Every night before we go to bed we try to pray together, or I will pray or he will pray.  Lately, I have been really thankful and aware of how good things are.  I remember when things weren't so ...como se dice...calm, fun, and healthy-PRAISE THE LORD!  He is super happy about this little girl and his excitement makes me more and more anxious to see her and see him and see him with her.  In the midst of so many things not right, we ARE blessed and sense HIS PRESENCE daily!


Here are some photos from the last few weeks...

This is Craig's cousin giving us the ultrasound...she is so great!
