Feeling good

I was at work yesterday, talking to one of my coworkers about childbirth and asking her what it was like. She started telling me about the first time you see them, when they're out and they put them on your belly. She then said some things that I just loved and wanted to record so I will remember them. She mentioned how amazing it is when you first see this little person, that they really have been growing inside you and now they're here. My favorite thing was when she told me that we are here on earth to progress; and with that progresses our ability to love. First we love our parents, then other people around us. Then we find the person we want to spend our lives with, and we think there is no way we could love another person as much. Then you meet this sweet little person, that the two of you made, and it's a different love, but you do love them just as much. And it's completely selfless, and gives us the smallest glimpse of the Lord's infinite love for us. She has two kids and said with her second she didn't think she could love another child as much as her first, but you do, and that love only increases.

I thought that was amazing and it just made me so happy and even more excited to meet him. He is getting so big, I can't believe it. The other day I was sitting there with my hand on my belly at church and suddenly I felt a little foot push against it, I could tell exactly what it was, it was amazing. Tanner felt it too the other night and was so cute, he was so excited. We just feel so blessed!!

We talk about that a lot nowadays...what it will be like to see his little face for the first time. I can't believe how close you're getting! Can't wait to see pictures of the little guy.

I'm so glad that you were able to talk to someone about child birth and have it be such a positive experience, and have her say such wonderful things, instead of focusing on the pain and actual process of the birth. I'm excited for you guys, having a baby is really the most wonderful thing.

I know that I don't have a baby, and that's pretty far away for me. But I think the love I feel for my laptop comes pretty close. Hahahaha!
