I went to my sister's baby shower today. I had a wonderful time.
After the baby shower, I went to my sister's house and just bummed with her. For the first time, she uncovered her belly for me. I was just touching it all over (not to sound weird) and I felt it kick for the first time. I kept looking at her and it's becoming real. There's a baby growing inside of her. I asked her if she was ever fascinated, but I forgot what she said (haha).
A baby.. moving around her belly. Wow.
And then I wondered, how was the experience for Mary to bear Jesus? Was the pregnancy way different from having her other children? Did His eyes glow with flames as a child? What was it like taking care of Jesus? Did He speak to God as a baby? What was it like to bear the Savior of the World in your womb? How does it feel to have your son die for your sins?
