Feeling the little one move about...

While our child is still nameless since we cannot decide on a name that we absolutely love, he sure is moving about a lot. Got a few good swift kicks to the bladder today, enough to send me to the restroom. I think the best thing about this experience is that even though I don't know him yet, he already has taught me so much more and really helped me focus on what life really means. It scares me to know that I wont be able to protect him forever, and I have to rely on the fact that Mike and I must raise him the best we can figure out how. I cannot wait for the day that I can hold him and just look at him and know that Mike and I created him. He doesn't even know how much he is already loved and if I could give him the world right this instant, I would.

Normally you would think I would be scared or frightened, but I am not, just how I was the day I married Mike I feel the same, excited, I am actually looking forward to sleepless nights and learning how to parent, it is so exciting to me. I get tired of hearing people say, "Your life is over." They are so wrong, I am just beginning to live. My life will be him, Mike and Lucy (of course she is still my little angel). I cannot wait to watch Mike show him things and teach him how to play sports and anything else he wants to do. Of course I can help, but Mike tends to be a little better than me at things. ;) He gives me the strength to know that the people who continue to walk all over me and be cruel are so not worth it, and that I will be given the best gift of all. I feel sorry for those people. Not mad, not angry, not vengeful, just sorry and sad.

I think that is a good stopping point for now...I'll leave you all with a little pic of the little man.
