What was that?!

I think it was last Thursday, I sent this email to my husband. ;0)

Hey hon,
I thought I would tell you this. I am not sure if I am feeling the baby move or not. But I am sitting here at my desk and my belly is up against my keyboard and all of a sudden I felt this little THUMP. I just stopped and thought no, that can not be it or is that really the baby and I am feeling it for the first time!!!?
SO I have not moved and thought okay maybe I will feel it again. Then there it was again. Thump, then thump a little softer in the same spot.
I am still feeling it now, not consistent, but every now and then. It is the weirdest thing to think that “baby” could be kicking me and moving. Wow, this life that God has blessed us with and given to us to grow with for 9 months and then also to take care of for the rest of it’s life.

I still don’t know if it is the baby moving or not. I guess I will have to wait and see if it happens again another day.
But I thought I would let you know.
Wow, it is crazy. To think that it could be OUR baby moving or kicking me!!!

I just wanted to make sure that it really was baby moving and tell him and then other people and it not be you know. I guess I am paranoid to that. My husband sent this reply to the above email.

That is so EXCITING!!! Praise the Lord.
If it's not the baby what else would it be?

He called me a little later and went on to start laughing and telling me that when he eats pizza late at night, it come alive later the next day and starts "thumping" his stomach. Then he did not stop there, he IMed me a little later and asked if my hamburger(we ate them the night before) had come back to life anymore. Come on, be nice to me, I just don't want to be wrong. He just could not give it up. When I get home, he asks, "so hamburger causing anymore problems? "

I know my husband is just hilarious you know? Just kidding. It was very exciting. Funny thing was, I don't think I had felt anything like this before and the night before this happened he asked me to let him know as soon as I feel the baby move. So that is what started the email. I wanted him to know. And he goes and makes fun of me. We are still laughing about it. It was all fun and it is a fun story.

I am feeling baby move more and more, not a ton, but every now and then. It is very exciting and SCARY at the same time to think, WHAT IN THE WORLD DID WE GET OURSELVES INTO? God has blessed us with this life and now we are responsible to raise it and train it to follow our Savior and to be a responsible adult. How are we suppose to do that when we don't know, if we are even responsible adults. It is causing me to pray for baby now. Wow, what a HUGE responsibility. I pray that God will give Wes and I the wisdom to be good parents and to train our child to follow him. I have started praying for our little one already. I heard several times(also my parents say it), when there are parents how their kids have turned out good or following God when they are older, how did you do it and each time the answer is the same. I PRAYED. IT WAS NOT ME. We prayed. One mom said she prayed everyday for her kids, some days more for one then the others. Wow. THAT IS HUGE. I am human and know that I will screw up, but God is big and created this life inside me and I want to be faithful to him, so what better way to be faithful then to pray for your kids. I have decided to start early. God knows we will need help. :)

Some thoughts going through my head. Every now and then Wes and I look at each other and say, "What are/did we doing?" But we know we serve a GREAT God and he has blessed us with this little life to mold. He will carry us through! We are so very excited and each time I think about it, it pushes me to rest on my Savior and pray for wisdom and for our little one. God is so good to always bring us to him.
