Changes

Every major turning point in my pregnancy has been sudden. No gradual shifts. Just big, bold changes. By the time I could really feel a kick, the kicking was non-stop. Two days ago, I saw the kick. My whole belly jumped. Now, it's like snakes under my skin-- and they're only a foot long and a pound and a half. I can't imagine how surreal it will be when they are big. I've been told that I will be able to count toes through my skin. I'm hoping for twenty.
