After thinking I might have felt the baby last week, I was dying for more. It's still hard for me to wrap my mind around the fact that we have a baby growing inside of me, and feeling a little movement just blew my mind, made it even more real, and gave me a little reassurance that all was progressing normally.
But then I didn't feel anything again for several days, so I started thinking that I had imagined it, and I wondered why the heck the baby didn't want to move around at all. My mom guessed that maybe I have a very calm, relaxed, easy-going baby. I laughed at that, cuz that is SO not my luck. She conceded that it was more likely the baby was saving up all its energy to be a little ball of craziness for mommy and daddy when he/she is born. That sounded more like it.
But yesterday, while I was at work, I started feeling more little nudges. There's no denying it now. It's definitely our little baby, nudging away at me. It's almost like the baby is saying, "Hey. Hey, mom! I'm in here. Hi!"
The past two days, the baby has been very active while I'm at work and apparently asleep and still when I'm home at night. But I can feel the little nudges very lightly from the outside, so I'm hoping that if we get some good timing, Mike might be able to feel it soon, too.

it's almost time!
ReplyDeletefeel lucky, eventually baby will sleep when you are awake and be awake when you are asleep, and, oh, thats right about the time it becomes more than nudges and more like gymnastics in there! Congrats on feeling the little one! it is the best feeling ( until about 34 weeks when the kiddo runs out of room and uses your rib cage for monkey bars--but heck, even thats cute-sometimes!)
ReplyDeleteyou are lucky with Cara i felt a flutter or so around 18 weeks,but no real movement for a few more and then my first KICK was when we were in phoenix, so maybe 24ish weeks?
I think that's proof that Cara loves the desert, heehee!!
