Another Flutter For This Mother...

I have felt the baby move a few times here and there... just a little bit at the time. Well, last night I was laying in bed singing to the baby. When I stopped singing [songs my mother sang to me when I was a child], Baby B fluttered quite a bit more than in the past. Then Baby B stopped moving around. I wanted to feel the flutter sensation again, so I started rubbing my belly and poking around where I felt the movement. Next thing I know: Baby B started squirming around (a lot!) in response to the pressure of my touch! The baby was moving so much it felt like my muscles were a wave that constantly kept rippling through the inside of my tummy. It actually tickled! I started giggling with glee. Matt came into the bedroom wondering what I was laughing at. I told him I was laughing at how much the baby moving tickled me... because I'd never felt that much movement before. It was so incredibly amazing! What a precious gift from God! We are so thankful to have this little bundle of joy that will be coming into our lives very soon.

Almost forgot to mention: had a dream the other night that I was in labor for 24 hours! When the baby arrived it was a boy. He looked up at me and just smiled away. Love those little baby smiles in my dreams!
