Week 20



I really really enjoy this stage of pregnancy.  You are constantly making me aware of your presence with a lot of baby kicks.  Honestly, up until this point of pregnancy, I really don't "feel" that you are there except for the occasional ultrasounds at the doctor's visits and the expanding waistline.  But as soon as you get big enough to kick so that I can feel you from the inside, the daily confirmations that you are alive and well and developing as you should makes for some very lovely moments.  I enjoy these little movements tremendously, and it is probably one of the many aspects of pregnancy that I miss the most after birth.  Baby kicks is one of those Mama's little secret.  They are gentle reminders of growth, of life, and what is most important.  When I sit in mundane work meetings and feel your movements inside my belly, I am reminded of exactly what is important in life and where my priorities are.  Thank you for these gentle reminders.
