movement

it's weird...as much as i enjoyed dancing in college and as much as i like a great walk or hike, i am a person to prefers to sit still. in fact, i love that we are called to "be still". as i've grown, i've realized one of my pet peeves is someone who CAN'T sit still...that their foot has to always be shaking or their finger tapping or something along those lines. on long car trips or travel days, i find myself relieved when it is over (though i don't get motion sickness) that i can just sit or lay and NOT feel movement.
especially being pregnant, i have taken time to just sit. usually i've got a computer in my lap or the tv or a movie on if it is going to be a long sit, but i enjoy the stillness...
until my little one starts moving...
she really enjoys the moving around, i think. she doesn't care that it's bedtime and me feeling her move around wakes me up like some sort of natural caffeine. she moves to let me know she's there and growing!
so for now, i'm enjoying the movement...knowing that it means our little one is giving us the signals that she is capable of to communicate with her parents!
