All Tuckered Out

After the minor earthquakes on Wednesday and Wednesday night, I awoke again last night. Only this time I didn't feel the earthquake...just sheer panic. I didn't feel her at all. So I just sat there awake, willing her to move so I knew she was o.k. A hour passed...and nothing. I finally got up and joined Jon downstairs on the couch...and I told him I was worried.

Nothing to worry about....she was just sleeping. Probably tuckered out from all of her activity the last few days. She started movin' and shakin' right after I was up for the day.

My mom told me that I probably wouldn't ever sleep soundly for about the next 18 years, and now I believe it. I mean, I feel her every move and I know her patterns by now. I'm responsible for another human life for God's sake and that scares the hell out of me. But, it also makes me smile...even if it is a sleepless smile.
