Tomorrow marks my 22nd week of pregnancy! I have to say the the most special thing happened today....Caleb felt our little girl kick, a few times, for the first time. I felt like she was on a roll so I had him come put his hand on my tummy. Then she kicked harder than usual, his head popped up with his eyes so big, and was like, "I felt that!" And so he did it again and just laughed out of excitement each time she kicked. After that, all afternoon, he kept putting his head real close to her and telling her how beautiful she is and how much he loves her. It was so sweet. I was so excited that finally he was able to feel a little bit of what I have been feeling the past few weeks. And another thing is that, at one point when he is head was up against my tummy, he laughed. Then he said, "I can literally hear her swimming around. And it isn't like food digesting. It is like you are underwater." I told him that is one thing I will never know what it sounds like cause I can't get my ear down there, only he will know that sound. So sweet.
At my doctors appointment on Friday, my doctor says everything looks and sounds great still. We are, oh, so thankful. And when she measured me to see how big the baby is projected, she was to the millimeter exactly what is expected. It is always such a relief to hear that. Awe, I just can't wait to meet her!!!
And I started reading through the gospels this last week, out loud to her in the morning. I intended to read through all four of them last fall/winter before Christmas, but it didn't happen. So this year I am hoping to make it through all of them, but this time read out loud to our little girl. I just want her to know all about Jesus and love Him with all her heart.
On a sad note, before I get off the computer to watch a show with Caleb....I think I am losing my top spot on our fantasy football league this week. I think I am gonna lose. That is sad. Oh well....lots of weeks to make up for it. :)
