Well, Hello There!

This afternoon, as I was reading the Little Red Caboose to #5, I felt the familiar squiggling feeling against the inside of my left hip bone.  #7 was moving around and making him/herself felt for the first time.

I love the early day wigglings.  They are a secret moment shared between me and the baby, too small for anyone else to notice, they are mine alone to enjoy.

In a few weeks, #7 will be big enough to be enjoyed by all, and I will be unable to sit without a child’s hand resting on my belly as they get to know their newest sibling.  But for the next couple weeks, #7 will be doing a joyful dance that is for me alone, a secret moment for just the two of us to enjoy.

Hello, #7.  I’m so excited to get to know you at last.
