Flutterbys

Just in time for Emily's birthday, we have quickening.

I thought I was feeling witch baby on and off before, but now I know I was because yesterday witch baby swam up to a spot that is definitely not gas and had a wriggly dance for about an hour and a half in the car. And continues to move around a bit this morning.

(You can tell me it's too early to feel it, at 15 weeks, but it's not. Call us hypersensitive about our body 'cause we are, but this is definitely baby movement.)

Up until now this was something I'd only shared with Emily. But I find it doesn't take anything away from her that wasn't taken away by her accident and her death.

It is hard for me though. It brings so much back in a rush in that visceral way.

Still, welcome to the biblical definition of alive, witch baby. Welcome to interaction. Enjoy the space, because it gets a LOT more squishy in there.
