Baby is kicking right now. I just ate breakfast and had a cup of tea, so I'm sure he got a little rush of caffiene and he likes when I eat. He is doing little jerky movements. I am trying to remember what it feels like, because I won't feel it ever again. I have to remember what it feels like when his little foot bone is sliding across the top of my belly.
Some days, when he is active I play with his feet. I touch his little feet and talk to him. He tries to move his feet away from my hand, and I follow his feet until he hides them.
Ben sometimes plays with him too. Well, Ben usually jiggles him and talks to him. A few times the baby was sleeping and Ben jiggled him awake. I was like "that was your daddy, not me".
One thing I will miss about being pregnant is my husband pampering me. Sometimes I pretend to be too tired to cook and Ben cooks for us. Although he cooks such meals as : hot dogs, frozen pizza, and deep fried chicken wings. Sometimes I pretend to have a sore back and he rubs my back :-)
My favorite part about being pregnant (and there is a favorite part) is: I never thought it was possible to be so close to another human being. Both me and the baby, and me and Ben. Sometimes, when its the 3 of us are together, I never thought it was possible to be so close to anyone. I feel like we are bound to each other. I never thought God would give me such a huge blessing.
