I started feeling Amelia kick about a month ago. I had been nervous in the weeks before since I hadn't yet felt any movement that I could clearly differentiate from normal tummy rumblings. So when I felt a definite pop in one particular spot, I knew this was different. A few days later, as our plane was descending into Boston, I had Bryan put his hand on my belly in that same spot, and he got to feel his daughter's movements for the first time.
Since then, she has kept up her active kicks and punches, and each time I am in awe of her tiny powerful limbs. What a blessing that we are given this outward interaction with her while she is still being formed. I have even started noticing patterns to her movement. She always seems to kick during my 9:30 class, my 1:30 class, and around 7:30, when I'm usually laying on the couch, she does somersaults and backflips. I want to hold her with my hands so badly, but for now I must be content with her charming acrobatics.
Thank you God for entrusting us with the gift of this life. Please help Bryan and I to care for her, to love her as you love her, and to raise her to be a godly woman.
