My favorite part of the day

I can understand why "they" say the second trimester of pregnancy is the best of all. You don't have to deal with the yucky symptoms of the first trimester like morning sickness or the tiring ones of the third. The second trimester is where you get to sit back and finally enjoy the pregnancy. In the second trimester you get to find out if you are Team Pink or Team Blue, you get to see that baby on the screen and see how he/she is progressing and growing.
But the best feeling of the second trimester is feeling Muppet kick. Yes- it's still Muppet, we haven't been able to come up with a name yet. My favorite times of the day is in the morning when I wake up and she's kicking me and right when I go to bed and she's kicking me. I know it's her saying "I'm okay Mommy, I'm in here having fun." It's the best feeling in the world to feel something that Chris and I have created move, wiggle, kick and punch. One of my best memories so far was just last night in fact. I was laying on the bed and Chris came and laid beside me and put his hand on my belly because she was moving. A few minutes later came a swift kick to my abdomen and Chris was like "Holy Cow, your whole stomach moved." She was really having herself a party. . . a dance party at that. But I didn't care. It's the most wonderful feeling in the world.
I love those instances when I get to just spend time with her, feeling her move, talking to her, singing to her. I never knew how much love could well up for someone you haven't met, someone you've never seen, someone with which you've never had a conversation. But I do. I think God stretches your heart to make room and include the most precious gift He could have ever given a mother. Holy mackerel, I'm a mother. She's not here yet, but I am already her mother.
Feeling her kick, punch and wiggle her way through this pregnancy, spending time with her, seeing the awe on Chris' face when he feels her move, well it just doesn't get any better than that.
