First flutterings and answered prayer

I honestly don't want this blog to turn into all about "baby". But you know, if it does, that's fine....because after all THIS is what my journey has been about. My journey has been about having faith, trusting God, and holding onto my hope that I would have a child of my own.

But just to prove that God listens to our prayers. He cares about the smallest things and the biggest things we pray up to Him. About a week ago, on a Sunday night, I was in bed watching television with Wes. It's something we do to settle down and get our bodies rested and ready for sleep. I was laying on my back and felt this funny bubble sensation in my lower stomach. It did it for a few seconds. I knew then that it was my baby. And NO it was not gas bubbles. I KNOW it was my baby. Well, this last Sunday, the 17th, marked the anniversary of the passing of my previous baby. I woke up that morning and didn't think anything of it and then it hit me. I was getting ready for church and realized what that day represented. I prayed and asked God to help me to not have negative thoughts. I prayed that He knew the plans LONG before I was even born. He has the best plans for me, and never wants to hurt me....even tho my heart had been broken before, I trust and know that He did the best thing for me and that baby. I prayed that God would allow me to feel my baby in my womb that day. So I went on with my day....went to church, took care of lunch, started on laundry....and all of a sudden I'm laying on my back on the couch and I feel it! BIG time. It felt like the baby was turning flips in my stomach. It was the most awesome thing. It went on for a good while. I had to thank God for listening to my prayers and helping me to know, once again, He cares.

P.S. This happened while the Dallas Cowboys were playing and they were losing big time....so I'm thinking the baby is either a Cowboy's fan already and was getting angry with them for losing OR he/she is NOT a Cowboy's fan and was excited they were doing so terrible. HA!

P.S.S. We are scheduled for our big reveal sonogram THIS Thursday, January 21st at 1:00. We will find out if God has chosen a boy or girl for us. Whichever it is, I know that God has chosen this one specifically for me and Wes.....I feel so blessed!
