Right Here...

I feel your kicks and I’ve heard your heartbeat…all of this coming from my abdomen. Yet, it feels like you are in another dimension. I can’t always grasp that you are literally a few inches from the real world where a stork will deliver you to our doorsteps in March. But, you stay safely in my stomach hearing sounds, feeling the rocking of my walking, knowing that I am yours and you are mine. We have a bond that no one else can ever claim because you and I are as one right now. A bond between mother and baby. It’s just such a miracle that has been so distant for me and now it’s here. So, I’m having a hard time grasping my mind around this whole new journey. It’s hard to believe that in only a few months you will be out of the safety of my tummy and in the safety of my and your daddy’s arms. It’s simply amazing and so hard to comprehend at the same time. God is good and amazing and wonderful. Our journey with you has been pretty easy so far and for that I am thankful. As we continue to work on the nursery I can see you playing in the corner and hearing your giggles. Those days are soon to come and will go by quicker than ever. But today you stay warm and cozy in my abdomen, kicking away until you hear your daddy's voice. As he speaks to you, your kicks stop and I feel as though you are listening to him, memorizing his tone, his gentle yet strong voice. A voice that will comfort you when you scratch your knee, hum you to sleep or even when the time comes explain to you why boys are just so .... dumb, sometimes. :) I love when he talks to you because I know that you hear him. And those nights when you seem to be kicking more than usual and I put on some comforting music on while placing headphones on my tummy, your kicking stops and I feel you turn. You amaze me and I don't even know your features but this much I do know. I know that you are mine and daddy's forever and our journey together will be filled with more than you can ever imagine.... and this I am thankful for. God bless you my little Junebug. I am so excited to meet you in March.
