Thinking about our unborn baby

I’m sitting here with a belly that will not be still. It’s all over the place; it’s quite logical of course, but still it amazes me how much I can feel that there’s another little person in there. When I was pregnant with August, I felt kicks and he had a lot of hiccups, but I can’t remember him rumbling around like this. I barely had time to pay attention to William when I was carrying him, because I had my hands full with August, who was only around a year at the time, and work. This baby is different. He’s somehow so much more present; I don’t feel so much pregnant as I feel like I’m carrying him around. I wonder what kind of baby, and later on boy he will be; what he will look like, sound like and be like. I know one thing though: he will be very, very loved. He’ll not only have his parents, but also two sweet, adorable brothers to care for him.

Awwww Sounds like he's going to an active little one. And he's going to be one lucky kid to have a great mum like you. :)

Lovely Lady of La Leche, most loving mother of the Child Jesus, and my mother, listen to my humble prayer. Your motherly heart knows my every wish, my every need. To you only, His spotless Virgin Mother, has your Divine Son given to understand the sentiments which fill my soul. Yours was the sacred privilege of being the Mother of the Savior. Intercede with him now, my loving Mother, that, in accordance with His will, I may become the mother of other children of our heavenly Father. This I ask, O Lady of La Leche, in the Name of your Divine Son, My Lord and Redeemer. Amen.
