Elijah Kicks

Elijah is kicking. It has to be one of the coolest things I've ever experienced. To know that he is growing on the inside and it is now evident on the outside, even tho we can't see him yet is an amazing realization. The first time I felt him was about 2 weeks ago. It was a Friday and I was laying on the bed and Katie ran in and pounced on me. I flipped her over and started playing with her belly (just to be obnoxious). I stopped and got a thump thump response. Being startled, I looked up at Katie and she said "That's the baby". I put my hand on her belly again and felt another thump. It was such a perfect moment.

I felt him kick again this morning and that is what has prompted this post. I'm one very excited soon-to-be dad. I really can't wait.

18 Weeks & Counting

The baby is on it's way. This is how I've decided to document the journey. It's not for you. It's for me, but I'm inviting you on the journey.

Enjoy.

I revel in your beauty.
I rejoice in your grace.
I want to hold you to me
and look into your face.
This joy that overflows
only grows
at the mere mention of a baby
and saves me
from this mundane
everythings the same
everyone's to blame
hopes gone to shame
day
that gets cast over me
but I refuse to believe
and choose to see
the beauty in the trees
hope in the breeze
this peace consumes me
world
created for us
loved by me
for this perfect
sleeping baby.

My baby.
