Moving and Shaking at 23 weeks

Words cant describe what an amazing feeling it is to have a baby move inside of you. I am finally at the point where I am in love with being pregnant. I'm not necessarily thrilled with my ever growing belly, but I find myself thinking "There's a life being created inside of my body" at least a few times a day. I was sitting at dinner tonight with Matt when I asked him if he was jealous that I got to carry the baby and have him with me at every moment of the day. He was very sweet and said "no, we will have our quality time after he's born." He always talks to and puts his hands on my belly just incase he happens to be moving. Baby has been so much more active in the last few days! I can't believe it, it's almost like clock work, 20-30 minutes after I eat something or if I'm hungry he goes crazy, moving and kicking. I try to picture what he is doing in my belly, but I have come to terms with the fact that i'll never know for sure. We have our next doctors appointment on December 18th, which is Matt's birthday. I knew he wouldn't mind a doctors appointment on his day since that means being able to hear the baby's heartbeat, which is a gift itself!
