“OMG! I Felt The Baby!” (Weeks Ago)

This probably should’ve been a much more exciting post, except the first few times I felt Baby Lump move, I wasn’t exactly sure it was Baby Lump moving.  So yeah, the title of this post probably should’ve JUST been, “OMG! I Felt The Baby!”

I’m not going to lie – I’ve always been under the impression that the first time you feel your baby, it’s some kind of monumental kicking sensation that anyone else who has their hand on your belly can also feel.  This is not the case.  James has yet to feel a thing.  In fact, the first few times I felt movement, I was pretty sure it was indigestion.  It wasn’t until several feelings of “indigestion” later that I realized I was an idiot.

What’s cool is that lately, Baby Lump’s movement has been much more pronounced.  Most women describe the feeling of movement as butterflies fluttering and goldfish swimming around (or, just plain gas).  I can generally agree with this, but honestly, it just feels like there’s a baby moving around in my belly :o )

    Yes, first off… that picture is ADORABLE. And second off, I’m absolutely obsessed with the ways that books and doctors describe pregnancy milestones. From the comparrisons to food objects and now “babies feel like fluttering butterflies”… I’m looking for a Hallmark card to send you with something along the lines of “Congratualations on your little goldfish!”

    Miss you – text me your address so I can send that card :-)
