Not a Doubt in My Mind

I have shared with a few of you that I have experienced what I thought to be possible movement of the baby, tiny flutters, and maybe a swoosh or two here and there, but honestly, I was never quite sure. Today however, I am definitely sure!

During my second six hour day of an Autism Conference, where I have spent most of my time sitting and trying not to fall asleep, the baby decided to make an appearance, short, but oh so sweet! It was the strangest, most wonderful feeling I have ever felt! The movement literally felt like the baby doing a back flip in my belly. And as quick as I realized what it was, it was gone, no matter how much I tried to mentally coax the baby back out of hiding.

Oh what a special moment this was for me! In a crowd of over two hundred people, I had a secret between me and my baby. And as much as I wanted to shout it from the rooftops, I continued on with my training, more awake and focused than ever. Oh how I look forward to the day when Drew can share this secret with me, because it will make this that much more real for him too. Until then, I will be enjoying this special moment between baby and me.
