Baby is Kicking!! Very first time on Christmas Day!!
That's right!! I felt our baby move today!! So exciting! It felt more like baby stretched than really kicked. It was wonderful and very reassuring that everything is moving along on course!
Baby's First Blessing
I wanted to be sure and document a very special moment for mommy and baby.
Last week I went to Church in DC during my lunch break and enjoyed a wonderful service at St. Francis' Catholic Church. Following the mass the Father stood outside and greeted each of the people as they left the church. I introduced myself and asked that the Father and I share a prayer for my baby. He enthusiastically agreed and we bowed our heads... he thanked God for his blessings and placed his hands on my belly then said, "Lord, please wrap your arms around Kristi's unborn child to protect him or her and bring the baby in to the world with your grace."
It was wonderful and the mommy-to-be gave the priest a tearful thank you. I was so moved by the prayer it took me a few moments to collect myself :)
