The Miracle of Motherhood

I was driving to work this morning and felt baby Alyssa moving around, apparently wide awake. Most likely jamming to the music as I tend to listen to the radio and jam to the music myself while I drive. All of a sudden, it just hit me. What an awesome miracle this is! Sometimes we concentrate so much on the negative side of it, that we don't really "stop and smell the roses".

Tito purchased a set of large headphones that I can place around my belly to play some classical music for Alyssa. So, we tried it for the first time this past Sunday. Alyssa had been kinda quiet throughout the day, not moving much, but boy oh boy, as soon as we put those headphones on and let that music play, she would not stop! It was amazing! Tito would stare at my belly and all he could ask was: "Does that hurt?" LOL Really, it looked (and felt) as if she was just doing summersaults in there or something. Well, at least we know Alyssa's not deaf! And she might actually have a little something for music... which really doesn't surprise me considering I come from a musically inclined family.

Since about 4-6 weeks ago I've also been able to feel one of Alyssa's little heels up by my ribs. I've been fortunate that she hasn't really "kicked" my ribs, but I'll lay down and feel that little hard bump somewhere around there. At first I wasn't sure what it was, but when I went to my doctor's appointment last week I mentioned it to the doctor and she said that's probably what it is. So, I got up from the bed this morning and as I went to take the first step I felt her stretch her little legs and felt her little heel against my rib once again. It made me think of how within the next 12 weeks some time I'd be able to see our little Alyssa. I can't wait to be able to see what she looks like... who's eyes she has, who's nose, can't wait to touch her little feet and kiss them, hold her tiny hand, and just simply be able to hold her and enjoy her.

Our little miracle... This little miracle that Tito and I created... I can't wait to meet her. I want to see how Annjulia will take care of her little sister and I can only pray that they will bond forever and love each other and care for each other... My babies... I love them so much. I love being a mom.
