Butterflies

My constant companion,

snuggled safe inside my belly

tucked beneath my heart,

wrapped up in the warming blanket of my maternity.

Always with me;

Always connected to me,

physically, emotionally, spiritually.

You are my life now,

my calm, my hope, my peace.

I love you.

I felt the little flutters this morning, for the first time...just after I wrote this. Pretty remarkable feeling. Though, I wasn't sure at first, if that's what I was feeling. A short while later, a friend said, "If it feels like butterflies when you're nervous, but you're not nervous, that's the baby".

And then I felt it a few more times. Pretty amazing.

  2. Yeah, it's been a pretty spectacular day..on cloud nine for most of it. This is it. This is what I've been waiting for. To really "feel" pregnant, and to have signs of life. I am so connected these days, and at peace with it all. I'm in love:)
