This week I finally did it. Rather, she finally did it. She started kicking, and not only can I feel it but my husband can, too. And we can SEE it. And we are both amazed!
I first felt it Sunday afternoon while I was relaxing on the couch. Chuck was outside working in the garage. When I finally realized what was happening, I called him inside so he could see and feel it too. Actual baby kicks and pokes.
I had been feeling flutters, which felt more to me like vibrations, for a few weeks now and had been waiting for the day that I would feel something that I could say without a doubt was her. This is definitely her!
We are absolutely in awe.
Thank you, Lord, for the miracle of this growing, living baby!

About Me
- Stacey
- I’m 38 years old and I’ve been happily married to my husband (known on this blog as "Chuck") since 1998. I was born and raised in my dear home state of Louisiana and have lived in Texas since 2001, the year we started trying to have a baby. This blog is about what my life has been like living with infertility and recurrent pregnancy loss for nearly a decade. My faith has played a big part in helping me get through six first-trimester miscarriages. Our seventh pregnancy finally brought us our miracle girl in September 2010. Our second precious gift, another daughter, arrived in November 2012.

Yay for baby kicks! What a wonderful feeling, huh? A constant reminder of the little miracle growing inside you. Enjoy each and every one of them (though I'll admit, the nighttime ones are hard to enjoy!)
How awesome!!!! How cute! You've been waiting for this for a long time!
I praise God for your little miracle :)
That is so exciting!!!
So wonderful! I pray those kicks continue strong for the months to come!
Can't wait to see and feel sweet Lily Rae on Thursday! She told me last time that she likes me best. :) :)
Awww, so happy for you!!
Wow fantastic news! Congratulations. I remember those beautiful first kicks, they are something else. I am so excited for you. Enjoy them! Keep kicking your momma, little Lily!
Isn't that the best feeling?? My favorite was when I could feel Judah getting the hiccups. Right after he came, I knew it had to be my baby because one of the first things I saw him do as I was holding him was get the hiccups.
So, so happy for you three!!!
Love to hear this!!! Isn't it all so amazing?? I will never tire of it and I know I'll miss it after he's born!
Congrats!
It IS amazing! I know that I was just pregnant a few months ago, but reading all of your posts kind of makes me want to do it all over again (but none too soon)! It is just such an awesome thing to feel that lively little gal inside of you. Oh, and it will get bigger and more powerful and ever (dare I say) uncomfortable. But in the most beautiful way. :)
This is so beautiful I wept! So very happy for you!
Awesome! I bet she's going to be a little Mia Hamm just to let you know she is there.
How completely awesome!
Isn't it just the most wonderful feeling? There is a PERSON inside you!
I forgot to give you the wrap when we got together...I'll give it to you at your baby shower. I fully intend to go buy Mom may not make it...they're supposed to go to Houma to visit my brother that weekend. I'm trying to convince her to stay, though!
