Friday morning between 4 and 5am I was laying in bed trying to fall back asleep when I felt this weird exciting feeling in my stomach. I thought to myself that was weird but just rolled over and went back to sleep. Once I had started my morning I starting thinking about that weird feeling I had earlier that morning. I thought to myself...was that the baby?!?!?!?!!? So I decided to call my sister to see what she thought. After waiting for her to call me back she and I discussed what I felt and sure enough...it was the baby. Most articles, books, and even my phone application said baby movement is normally felt between week 16-18 and then it will become stronger later on. I'm in week 15 and hadn't even thought I would feel the baby already. I was amazed at what I felt that morning. It was an exciting feeling that was quick and amazing. I lay still a lot more in bed hoping to feel that precious movement again. Ever since that exciting feeling and realizing that is my baby moving I have been filled with pure amazement and joy. That was the one thing I so desperately needed to move me to excitement. Don't get me wrong I am excited about this bundle of joy. But lately all I think about is the changes I will be making or figuring out. I am stressed more than excited. That exciting feeling, my baby moving, let me know I need to relax and enjoy these moments. I realize things won't be perfect when this baby arrives but I do know it will all fall in place in His timing. I have to remind myself this is in God's hands and He will take care of this baby and I. God knew what I have been needing in the past few weeks and blessed me with the greatest thing ever...waking me up at 4 am so I can feel my baby move for the first time. I'm not sure any exciting feeling I have from now on will ever be better than that morning. Thank you God for this blessing!!!
This baby and I are going to be ok. I just need to be patient and feel the movement.
