Baby movement

I'll make a bigger post on Monday after we've been to see the midwives for our 20 week appointment... I'm so excited to see the ultrasound!

I just have to say, though, that feeling the baby move has to be one of the coolest, most amazing (and weirdest) feelings ever. Last night James and I watched North by Northwest (which was fantastic, obviously) and an hour-long documentary on Carey Grant's career (which was also really interesting) so we were up about 3 hours later than normal. The baby was moving so much! I wonder whether I've been sleeping through the most active times. Lots of movement as I'm sitting here typing... feels like somersaults, although I have a hard time imagining how that would actually work.

I can't wait to see the baby on the ultrasound on Monday! Emily, a friend from school (who is due 3 days before I am), went on Tuesday for her 20 week ultrasound and she said it was cool to see her baby moving - a lot more movement than she could even feel at this point! She said it was amazing to see family traits already - she has Emily's long fingers and when she went to sleep, she laid her hand across her forehead just like Emily's mom does!

It's so exciting to share this experience with other Christian women - what an amazing God we serve!
