This week has been wonderful! I had a feeling that had we been paying attention the last week or so, we would have seen the baby's kicks from the outside, so we made it a point to stare at my belly for awhile the other night. Our little boy usually has quite the kicking routine at night as soon as I get comfortable in bed, and it didn't take long before we started to see those kicks. It was so amazing, and now we've seen him move every day. Ever since 19 weeks or so, there have been so many new, exciting things going on. It just keeps getting better and better, and I just keep getting mushier and mushier. I am so excited for him to be born and to see him, hold him, and take care of him, but I also know I'm going to miss the time that he's spending inside of me. Starting the moment he's born, we'll have a new slew of anxieties based around keeping him strong, safe, and healthy, and I'll look back on this pregnancy as the time when it was so easy to take care of him.
