Waiting

Though Johnathan is definitely interested in the whole baby-in-my-tummy thing, he is only 3. He really has not had the patience to sit and wait for the baby to move so he can feel it. We've tried to help him feel the baby kick, but nothing's ever registered for Johnathan.

This morning as we were singing in church, Johnathan climbed up and put his arm around me and his hand on my tummy while we sang. I noticed the baby jabbing me right under Johnathan's hand several times. I looked down at him, and Johnathan looked up at me in wonder - He felt his baby brother kicking him for the first time!

We finished singing "Strength Will Rise as We Wait Upon the Lord." This stage of pregnancy definitely requires some strength as we wait... But the wait is worth it, for moments like that!
