The First Real Kick!

Hello Babies!
        We have less than a week until Daddy and I find out what each of you are! We are getting very excited. In fact, we are so excited that we decided to have a big party this weekend to find out with everyone else. All of our family members and friends will be there to celebrate with us. We will be happy no matter what you are, but it will be exciting to know something new about what makes each of you, YOU!
        This week I have started feeling you more and more. Baby A, I don't know if you are more active than your sibling, but I feel you the most. Baby B, I have finally recieved a few little movements from you, which made me feel glad to know you are doing okay in there! Last Tuesday, I was having a horrible day. I was tired, I was stressed, and I was sick of working. I came home after fighting tears all day long. I was done. I went to bed very early and just layed there holding my belly, wondering how I was going to get up and go to work the next day, wondering how I was going to keep going. I started talking to you and I asked you for a favor for your Mama. You don't remember and you could probably barely hear me, but I said, "Please, can't you give me just a little something? A kick or a punch, something distinct, so I know you are there and so I can go to sleep and get up and face another day?" I sighed a big sigh and lay there in the dark for another five minutes....until...POW! A distinct kick was felt both inside and out in my lower belly. I immediately responded with a GASP! followed by a rush of tears of joy. They trickled down my cheeks as I prayed and thanked the Lord. I was able to settle down and ignore my current stresses of the day to fall asleep fast. Ahh.
          That was a few days ago. Now I am feeling both of you even more and loving every minute of it. I get to "see" you again on Tuesday and learn more about how you are doing. I am getting bigger and bigger and more and more uncomfortable. Something that has come as a surprise, but makes sense being that there are two of you taking up space in my short, petite body. I have been a little worried that I am having some early contractions this week though. Just remember, you have quite some time to keep growing and getting better. Stay in there as long as you can and be nice to each other. Mama needs to keep working and getting ready for you. Daddy is working on the basement so we can move everything out of your room and make it pretty for you. I love you both and I can't wait to learn your genders on Saturday!

Love Always,
Your Mama
