Quickening: a poem
Afternoon is waning, waning,
Sitting, staring, clock is ticking,
Heart is full of joyful laughter;
I can feel my baby kicking!!!!

Oh I remember that feeling! Isn’t it wonderful? I’m so happy for you. Have you made the decision whether or not to find out if you’re having a boy or girl? I know it has been a secret with your other children. Congrats and enjoy feeling better!
Oh, how wonderful! What a sweet little poem- it gave me goosebumps to remember!
Elise, Thanks! It’s a “Kristi original,” and I’m happy to say that I wrote it in about 5 minutes while downing some mint-chocolate chip ice cream - haha!
Leah, no, we will not be finding out, although this is definitely the hardest it’s ever been for me! If someone had it written on a paper somewhere near me, I’d certainly cave! I selfishly want Steven to have a little brother so much; that’s why I want to know although another girl would be just more crazy female fun!!
If we have a girl, we’re going to have a hard time with the name. We haven’t even thought of names we like yet!
Cute poem, I remember the feel of a baby’s movement (been awhile for me) but it’s something you never forget.
PS HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!
Such a cute poem. I miss those times when you feel you bond so much with that little bundle of joy growing inside you!
Oh I would go crazy not knowing what I was having, but it is still exciting! I am the total opposite…I can think of girl names, but had a hard time with boy names!
HA!
happy bday kristi!
Happy Birthday!! We love you. By the way, I am praying for a boy. Love, Grammy
How thrilling, Kristi! Congrats, I remember those precious times.
happy birthday sweet friend- feeling the baby move makes all the throw-up worthwhile- at least that’s what i told myself, since i was still getting sick as the babies kicked (thankfully one at a time in the womb)
So I’m a little bit late, but HAPPY BIRTHDAY, dear friend!
happy belated birthday! Hope you enjoyed your day!
