Yesterday I was sitting in the bath thinking to myself, I really haven't felt this baby move yet. I know everything is O.K. I am just getting excited about this child growing inside of me. I do a lot of my praying in the bath because it seems to be the only time I have to myself. So yesterday as I was praying I asked God to let me feel the baby move. I thought to myself after I had prayed this I know the baby has to be a certain size and maybe it is just not big enough yet. So I went on with my day and didn't really think about this again.
So last night I had put all the children to bed and was laying on the couch watching T.V., and guess what? I felt it. It was not just a little flutter or anything it was distinctive movement and it
went on for about 5 minutes. I had a mixture of emotions flood through me at that instant. Happiness and excitement for this new little life, a little sadness remembering that I never got to feel baby Charlie kick and move around, and very thankful that I have a Heavenly Father who really cares about me and knows what I need when I need it. I felt like last night God was saying to me, "Susan I am always here and nothing is too little for you to ask me, just come and sit at my feet and I will listen."
So since last night my newest little bundle has been letting me know, " Momma I'm right here growing big and strong." I guess we have passed another milestone and what a glorious one this was.

God is GOOD! How exciting for you. Too bad Marc wasn't home to enjoy it with you, but kind of nice you got to 'hog' the baby:)
Love ya!!!
I remember praying that prayer MANY times while carrying Ladybug. I was so anxious for that confirmation that she was growing and doing well.
Praise the Lord. He is faithful!
I loved that part of being pregnant.
I am so glad for that little taste of God. He is so awesome. And when we think that it is too small for God, He so shows us something different. God bless you and little one. Love Tanya
that is so wonderful to hear how God answers the littlest prayers sometimes...who else knows better how to encourage us and what we need?
I am so glad you and 'baby doe' are getting to know one another. What an awesome feeling! I can't wait to feel it again!
