Last Saturday, before Levi left for the North/South Carolina-Virginia leg of his fall tour, he made a play list for the wee one. 70 carefully chosen songs that would finally make use of the iPod speaker pillow we bought with a Bed, Bath, and Beyond gift card after our wedding. The pillow is actually pretty neat - you plug the iPod into it and only the person who has their head on the pillow can hear the music. Come to think of it, I'm not sure why we haven't used it more - it would be great for traveling. Anyhow, Saturday night I slept with the speaker-pillow pressed against my belly for baby Weaver and his/her newly functioning ears. Baby must have liked the music because the dancing in my tummy has been getting stronger ever since.
I was on my way home from work on Wednesday when I felt the first okay-that's-really-the-baby-moving movements. It was just a series of little thumps that made my insides jump. Almost like tiny, soft bubbles popping. Ever since, I've felt Baby move consistently throughout the day and it's such a sweet reminder of the precious miracle that we've been blessed with. With each new stage of discovery the realization of parenthood sinks in a little more. More questions, doubts, and fears, but even more excitement, anticipation, and love.
Hopefully when Levi gets home he'll be able to feel the baby move too. We'll have our first Weaver family dance party :).

5 more days until your birthday surprise of girl or boy! I'm wondering if the next poll will be for voting on baby names.
