My favorite part of every day is the last 5 minutes. All curled up in bed in those few moments before you fall fast asleep. Since the baby started moving, Drew & I end every day the same. He wraps his arms around my belly and we fall asleep feeling our baby move and tumble inside me. It's the best.
A couple of nights ago I said to him, "I can't wait for our little boy to get here, but I think I'm gonna miss this." It dawned on me that those kicks and tumbles that were once so foreign to me have become such an integral part of my day. I feel him constantly and he is so much a part of me. Sometimes those movements offer reassurance if I'm feeling anxious. Sometimes they startle me and I practically jump out of my skin! Every time they bring a smile to my face.
There is nothing I want more than to finally meet my son and hold him in my arms. And I know that I'll be so preoccupied with being a mommy to him that I'll hardly have a second to think back to the days before his arrival. But I can't help but think a tiny part of me is going to miss this.
Note: If you click on the title of this post you'll hear one of my current favorite songs, "You're Gonna Miss This" by Trace Adkins. Seemed appropriate for this post.

You will miss it, but you'll love the next part even more. I'm so glad he's an active baby and understands how to reassure mommy.
