*** this sat in my draft for a while. I don't want to forget the moment, though the thought is incomplete ***

I was in bed this morning, in the semi-conscious state between awake and asleep, and I felt the baby kick. I mean really kick. For several weeks I've felt her move around most evenings, but this time was different. Very Chuck Norris-esque. My eyes came open and I lay still for several minutes, hoping to feel it again. A few more times, and then she stopped, and I drifted back to sleep.

I'm 22 weeks along. In some ways it seems like it's going quickly, but I feel so anxious for this little baby to be in our family, and really August can't come soon enough. Ana and Jack like to hug and kiss my belly and tell the baby they love her.
