We are now 23 weeks preganant with Baby Neal and with each day it feels more and more real that we are actually having a baby! For awhile it was like "ohhh yeah we pregnant" but not really feeling pregnant and no signs of baby around to make it feel real. Now we have a actual baby crib, built and sitting in an empty room that now belongs to our son. We have a closet of clothes and knick knacks all belonging to him also... feeling very real around here. The best part though is that I am finally feeling him moving on a consistent basis. I felt little "flutters" along the way that I thought could be him, might not be but maybe it is? Now there is a very definite movement in my stomach belonging to my son. I have to say this is the most incredible and humbling feeling in the world. I am put in awe everyday at God's creativity and complexity in the creation of life. Knowing that I am growing a human being in my stomach is a very empowering thing and yet there isn't a moment that goes by that I am not thanking God for his blessings of health and protection so far for our little nut. I am very anxious for the moment Drew will be able to feel our son's movement but for now I am treasuring the sweet kicks I feel reminding me how incredible our God is!
