The first time I felt you kick:
I suspected it several times before I was sure, and each time I was so happy and relieved. More memorable, maybe, was Keith's first time feeling the baby move. It was so wonderful to see the wave of joy on his face!

It felt like:
I've heard people say that their baby's movements feel like bubbles or butterflies or fun things like that... but I think that they feel like a little tiny baby moving around inside of me!

I felt:
Rewarded. It makes all of this careful thought and hard work so worth it! There have been days when trying to take in enough water, protein, vitamins, and calories has completely worn me out. Feeling our little one move makes it all so worth it, and it encourages me to keep it up.

The strangest food craving I've had is:
Seafood and beer. It's not just a one-time craving, either; almost every night I find myself bordering on desperate for a few bottles of beer and an all-you-can-eat seafood buffet. I also really want a glass of wine. The only other craving I've had for a while is for a nice big mocha... something I haven't had in years! I'm disappointed that I can't give in to my food cravings, since not much else really appeals to me.

This month's prenatal visit taught me that:
Our midwife will let the cord blood finish pulsing before the cord is cut, so I'm glad for that. I can have some seafood while I'm pregnant - up to twice a month - if I am careful of the source, but I think I might just not bother.

My hopes:
Godliness, contentment, sincere love, joy, peace... I hope these for myself throughout this pregnancy, and for our baby throughout life.

My fears:
I keep finding myself being full of fear about our finances. It's been a really hard year on us financially and I had hoped that we would be in a better financial situation by now. I hate being in debt and I am disappointed that I can't afford to buy everything in the world for our little one... even though my heart knows that's not really what I want. I just wish our debts would go away.
