This isn't going to be my usual post just because I don't know how to really make it mean more than it already does. Yesterday, for the first time, I felt the baby move inside my body. I am 18 weeks along and it's that time. I can't explain what it felt like, my mom assures me that as it continues I will know how to describe it but it was weird feeling.
I wasn't sure what it was and I told my husband, who was sitting next to me, 'I think I felt the baby move' then I talked with some people about it and they said it sounded like that's what happened. lol I don't know much about this stuff. It's kind of exciting and even more scary because there is no denying it's there. Such a weight I carry and such a responsibility.
Now that I am pregnant all I can think is 'God am I really ready for this task? Are you sure that I should?'
I think of songs about being a parent, I think about my parents and other ones I know. Makes me a little stir crazy but at the same time, somehow I feel at ease about it. Probably all the hormones going through me, but it just could be that I know God has me and this child in the palm of his hands. Whatever the case, it's fascinating to be going through this and to not know what will happen next.
Take the time to listen to the song:
