29 Weeks Pregnant (with a Rib Kicker)
Ouch. My tiny, unborn son seems to have the thigh strength of Hercules. He’s been kicking me in the ribs all day today! At least it’s not my intestines that he’s kicking anymore. I can live with a kick to the ribs.
But it still hurts.
I am 29 weeks pregnant today and galloping happily towards the big THREE-OH. Finally, there is a light at the end of this long long tunnel! Although I can’t believe in 11 short weeks I will be gazing happily down at a little tiny, perfect living creature that my husband and I created. It just amazes me beyond words. There is so much to look forward to and so many memories to make. I am enthusiastically looking forward to every single one of them!
Last night I was reading a cute little blog last night called “Mommie Daze” and she talks about a moment where her little son grabs her face, says “Mommie, you ice cream!!” and then licks her cheek. It had to be the most precious little blog post I’d ever read. Pardon me for being a sentimental pregnant woman, but I began daydreaming about one day becoming ice cream for my own adorable little man.
Ok, it sounds silly, but all of you mothers out there probably know the emotion I’m talking about - the brand new mom emotion where even the sight of a Lightning McQueen toddler bed will make you weepy. It’s just all so… sweet and new.
And life changing.
The thought occurs to me over and over ….stronger each day… Hey, I’m going to be a Mommy.
It’s just very very exciting. 
Hi! My name is Lisa. I am 25 years old, and am married to the most wonderful man in the universe. I also just gave birth to my first son, Jack-Evan (aka "Little Jack"!). I love Jesus, my family, the ocean, good books, and motherhood.
Hi Lisa. I saw your comment on my blog about the ice cream. Congratulations on expecting Little Jack. It’s those little moments that make it all worth it, even the difficult days. I hope you and your husband enjoy every moment. I grew up as an only child just like you. I couldn’t help but notice Little Jack is due just the day after my birthday, May 5th. I guess May is a good month!
