A week or so ago I began to notice a new feeling in my abdomen that was happening somewhat regularly. It took a while to figure out what it was because 1)I've never been pregnant before 2)It didn't feel like 'flutters' 3)pregnant women are gassy so I kind of wrote it off as gas 4)It felt like little muscle spasms so I sort of thought my uterus was having small growing pains/spasms
Anyway, turns out it is the kid! I can't say if it is kicks, punches, or flips but I do know that it is fetal movement. It happens most often mid morning, around dinner time, and when I lay down to go to sleep.
The coolest part, in my opinion, is that Frank can feel it now, too! It took a few days of trying before he felt it, but earlier this week it happened! It was neat to see him react to the feeling - it is still faint like a small misplaced heartbeat.
I'm doing my best to enjoy it now when it is small and only occasional. I know later I'll be begging the little person to stop so I can go to sleep!
Another milestone, passed.
I am 21 weeks pregnant, 19 weeks until the due date.
Love it, love it, love it! Am jealous of Frank! However, one of my kids' mothers is pregnant and due in March and told me this week that I can touch her tummy every single week! Actually, at least three of the moms are preggers and very tolerant of my level of excitement and requests to touch! I promise I won't follow you around at Thanksgiving with one hand glued to your abdomen! xoxo to the 3 of you!
