Yep, I am wide-awake right now, but I couldn't be any happier! (Little side note: Thank you God for another day, night, morning ... whatever time this gosh-awful hour is considered.)
I couldn't be any happier and had to run to turn on the computer to share with you all, since it is not a decent hour to call my mom or dad. I am ecstatic, not by having to take my now-routine bathroom break in the middle of the night (which I love now ... baby sign), but because I am certain I just felt our little champ kicking away at my belly! I couldn't be any more proud of my little miracle boy! : )
The realities of sleepless-pregnancy nights are beginning to take shape, but I truly could not be any happier right now! In all honesty, I was beginning to get a little nervous, even though the docs told me not too. I mean, I am now 25 weeks pregnant (Mom ... that is a little over 6 months) and I wasn't feeling anything ... until 25 minutes ago!!!! I felt the champ kick in the exact spot the doctor suggested I would feel him (yeah, maybe a little suggestibility). And this time it was different. Before, I would get sharp quick pains on my left side ... even a nurse suggested that those sharp pains on the left may be the baby. I so know now those pains were clearly gas! This time I know it, it is not gas, this is my baby! Our baby ... our little miracle guy ... he has been through 3 complete rounds of chemotherapy and I feel his kicks! I am so very proud of him! Way to go kiddo! My sister-in-law, Monica, was right when she told me "you will just know" when you feel him. I know now, I know at 2:30 in the morning, and I am so very happy.
Today is a good day. We are okay. We are better than okay. Baby is kicking and this mama couldn't be more proud!
Your mom and I work together! I just wanted to say that I think you are truly an inspiration for so many people here. As a girl who knows somewhat the feelings that you are having, I really think you are in a great place in your heart, mind, and soul! I have two boys and I can tell you that you have a long road ahead of you but it will always be eventful...raising boys is a special opportunity! Believe me one day you will look back on all of this and say Life really is good! take care!
