A little over 2 weeks ago (Monday, May 9th to be exact) I felt the most amazing thing for the first time-YOU! Honestly, I didn't know it was you at first. Oh, I suspected the "butterfly" feeling I kept experiencing had to do with the fact that you are growing inside of me and my body is forever changing. However, I didn't necessarily think that it was your movement that was causing this incredible sensation. A friend texted (yes, this is the world you are being born into...one filled with ever growing technology) and asked me if I had felt you guys yet. I immediately said no but it made me think, had I? Was that wonderful tingling in my stomach actually your precious tiny bodies moving? After talking with several people (a few who have twins) I learned that this indeed was probably you that I am feeling. I don't doubt it now (especially after seeing you jumping around on the most recent ultrasound) and I do think it's true what people say-you just might be able to feel twins sooner than singles because I haven't stopped feeling you since that 10th week!
I LOVE it! Crazy as it may seem, when I feel you, I talk to you and am just so thankful for the reminder that you two are in there growing bigger and stronger. Unfortunately, my human mind hits one milestone and is instantly ready for the next....to go beyond that "butterfly" feeling and enter the world of kicks and punches. But then I remind myself of all that I have been through to get to this point and how precious this time is with you. It goes by so fast (just as everyone has told me) and I will only be pregnant with YOU TWO this once. That's all it takes, a simple change of perspective and I am back living in the moment and praising God for THIS day and these precious memories that we are already making together.
Words truly cannot express how I feel about the two of you-I have never been so in love in all my life and I will forever be grateful that God has chosen me to be your mom! I know I don't deserve you but feel so blessed that God is so full of love and grace :)
Love always,
Mommy
