The second trimester has come to a close, and now Maya and I are in the final stretch of this incredible life process. Twenty-eight weeks have passed, and she is now only twelve weeks (maybe more....maybe less) away from entering the world on her own. She freely opens and closes her eyes now...she even has eyelashes. I can't wait to see her eyes. To make eye contact with my own daughter. To show her how much she is loved.
I tend to think of her almost as a young child that could identify and express feelings and thoughts if only she weren't stuck inside of me.
She has been moving a lot today. I never want to forget that amazing feeling. Sometimes she is so gentle that I'm not certain that it is really her.
But each time I feel her insistent and unmistakeable movements, I am relieved to know that she is still growing and moving...living.
