Baby Fekkes KICKED!
The most amazing thing happened last night after hours of sickness...
Our sweet little baby Fekkes kicked for the very first time.
Our Baby might be the next Olypmic Gold Medal Winner in the butterfly event.
I'm not exaggerating when I say with full assurance that our baby high-fived me last night.
After a nice 4 hour road trip/sight-seeing tour, we got home, laid down in bed, and our baby MOVED!
This little one was busy stretching out arms and legs, getting acquainted with his/her humble abode.
I can't begin to describe the joy and awesomeness of feeling this baby move inside of me.
It simply goes beyond words.
Sickness makes you aware that you are holding life inside of you, but feeling movement,
that is the point when you sit back and realize that God is growing and building a beautiful design inside of you for His glory. I'm now constantly touching my stomach anticipating feeling the movement again.
The picture that comes to mind to describe this baby's movement goes a little something like this:
You know those glass bottles that have a small sailboat inside and float on water? You are always wondering how the sailboat made it through the smaller opening in the bottle. Well, envision the sailboat rocking on the waves as you tip the bottle back and forth. That is what our babe was doing last night. Rocking back and forth on the wave of my belly. Flutters. Tickles. Absolute JOY!
Thank you sweet baby Fekkes for welcoming us into the 17th week with movement!
I can't wait for our belly-talk time each night hoping to feel you move and see the excitement on your daddy's face. He would like you to kick me really hard so that he can feel you, too.
Last night, after the rocking and stretching, I rested my hand on the left side and I believe you crawled over and just rested in my hand. I felt you sitting there before you readjusting a few minutes later to find your spot. We love you sweet baby!
Indescribable Joy!
