Flashback Friday

I was going to do a belly post but as I was looking back at my belly pictures I got to thinking about how I can't believe the little baby that grew inside of me is getting to be so big so fast! The whole pregnancy process is such a miracle! I remember imagining what she looked like and trying to figure out if that was her head or her butt. I remember all of the little kicks and how she LOVED to stay on my right side. I remember watching my belly grow and my feet disappear. I remember the anticipation of "when" she was going to come. I remember laying in bed and just enjoying feeling her move. I remember when Bruce would rub my stomach she would stick her butt up (or at least I think it was her butt) on the right side so high that left side would be flat! haha! I remember hearing her little heart beat and seeing her image on the screen. I remember staring at those images wondering what she would look like, what she would be like, and dreaming of her nightly. It is so funny how pictures can bring you right back to that moment and I'm so thankful I have the pictures to look back on because I look at my baby girl now and it is so hard to believe those kicks, that butt, that heart beat was HER! I'm so blessed to be her mama and I thank God every day and night for her because it is true what Elizabeth Stone said, "Making the decision to have a child is a momentous one. It is to decide forever to have your heart walking around outside of your body".

My Dear Eileigh Ann; You are the only one that knows how deep my love for you is, after all you are the only one that has heard my heart beat from the inside.
