Second Letter to Eli

Eli,

On Friday your daddy felt you kick for the first time. I think that moment may have been one of the most memorable moments of both of our lives. You are moving more than ever, and that is what I am thankful for this holiday season. Every time you move everything else stops. I forget about the fact that I'm exhausted, that I'm in physical and emotional pain everyday, and most importantly that you are not healthy.When I feel a little kick, nothing else matters. I am thankful for every little toss and turn you make because it means that you are alive and staying strong. So feel free to kick my bladder or dangle from my ribs, because nothing makes me happier than feeling my precious little boy.

Love,
Momma
