In Love...

While I want to say that since it is Valentine's Day today, I will dedicate this post to my loving and incredible husband, I have to admit that at this moment I just can't focus on anyone else but our little-- growing inside of me, over 4 pounds now-- a real human. Yes, I am in love.

At night when I'm watching TV, I will feel a slow, steady movement under my belly button, and sure enough, suddenly there will be a round bulge sticking out of one side of my stomach. This is our little's head (as we learned in our 32 week scan this week, it's face down now). And I put my hand on this perfect ball- like shape, really not believing that this is my baby's head that I am feeling. It is almost surreal.

I feel so close to my baby right now, and the love I feel is just oozing out of me. I didn't know I had this in me, I have never felt this kind of love before. It's different-- there is something so powerful, intense, amazing, unconditional-- I don't know how else to describe it.

And then a few minutes later I'll tap my belly, and the kicks and roles will start near my ribs and I'll stare at my stomach moving on its own- up and down, and it's as if we're "playing" with eachother. There is such a strong and deep connection between us, it feels too good to be true. Do I really get to have this?

I call our little my "bodymate", rather than a roomate-- my bodymate lives in me, travels around with me, and keeps me company 24 hours a day. I am so in love...

In just 7 weeks (G-d willing), I will be holding my dream in my arms. I am so thankful.

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