This week I have been relishing in all of the glories of being pregnant. Although I have had a few inconveniences this week (my once a week throw up/food sitting in my esophagus night and baby digging into my ribs and being uncomfortable for a day) overall I have really enjoyed this part of my pregnancy. Today and other days like this are no exception.
Today the baby had the hiccups again. I love this feeling. The fact that it is becoming all the more frequent makes it even better. The baby is big enough now that I can see and feel almost all of the movements that are being made and it brings a smile to my face every time I feel the rhythmic thumping of my baby's hiccups. In addition to this I have been relishing in the rolls and twitches that this little one makes when moving. In fact I find myself many times throughout the day pulling up my shirt just to watch my stomach move and roll as my little one does acrobats inside of me. I find this sheer entertainment and I enjoy it best when I am alone and I can watch all by myself to take it all in without any distractions.
The other day Cole and I were sitting on the couch and he looked over at me and said 'I saw that!' as the baby was moving around in my belly. This too was wonderful because for a split second he got to be caught off guard by the baby's movements, which is what I experience every day. Although he can't actually be caught off guard through feeling the movement inside of him, it was neat that I didn't have to say "quick the baby is moving come feel/watch" for him to see the movement.
Today I found this post: http://www.howtobeadad.com/2011/7632/0-baby-sixty-seconds
which I absolutely love. Maybe it is because of the feelings of sheer enjoyment I am having currently. Even down to realizing that my nights of little sleep due to throwing up are karma for not having morning sickness, I am doing everything I can to enjoy this part of being pregnant. The above post is a 60 second video of a woman growing through pregnancy and then arriving with her baby in her arms. It is a reminder to all pregnant woman that although you want the end of the pregnancy to go fast, once it is over you will look back on it with thoughts of how it went by too fast and how you miss it. So, seize the day and enjoy all that pregnancy has to offer. That is just what I am doing this week, enjoying my little one and all the smiles he or she is bringing me now, knowing that soon I will be smiling from him or her for different reasons. I love you Baby Harper and I am so excited to meet you!
