Connection

I have been feeling such a deep connection to our little.

Every morning I wake up and the first thing I do is put my hand on my stomach, waiting for a little kick, a roll, any kind of movement. And most of the time within minutes I feel it. A human inside of me with a mind of its own, unpredictable and independent-- kicking me when it wants to, moving, free and alive. This makes it so real for me.

I am in love with this life inside of me. It is true what they say-- you just love this life without even meeting it, let alone knowing it-- it is an unconditional and immediate kind of love that is getting stronger and more powerful everyday. It is hard to believe that in exactly three months I will (G-d willing) be holding this life in my arms.

I feel such a strong bond-- moreso than even Dave- yes, he feels the kicks when he puts his hands on my belly, but its different. This life is in me, it goes where I go, it eats what I eat--and it's like my heart has given birth to a whole new set of emotions I have never known. Nothing can beat this feeling I have right now-- this, right now, is the best part of my pregnancy. The movements of this life within, the growing belly, it is romantic and all consuming and I am soaking it all in. What a gift.

Please G-d keep our little safe and healthy and growing strong....
