Last night I felt my baby boy move for the first time. Now...Lauren normally does all the writing for this blog, but I felt compelled to post this morning. Lauren's been feeling Lil' Chapps move for the past few days, and I've been putting my hand on her belly trying to feel him move too. And last night...I finally felt something. We laid there for probably 30 minutes feeling our little guy kick and punch and roll around in her belly. It was absolutely amazing. It was quite honestly one of the most "real" moments that I've ever experienced in life. I couldn't help but feel an overwhelming sense of duty, responsibility and purpose. With thoughts and emotions running wild, I kept coming back to the notion that everything I've experienced so far in life has all pointed to this one new purpose...to care for, and mold our son into a man that will be a blessing to others.
I know that's kind of deep...and I'm sure I'll write about lighter topics like changing poopy diapers, etc., but that was just my overall mood last night. It was really a powerful and life-changing moment for me.
...love you Lil' Chapps. Can't wait to meet you buddy!
