Yesterday was baby day for me! I haven't felt the baby move a whole lot during pregnancy because we haven't quite hit the mark for me to be able to feel the movements more. Well, I am about 17 weeks now so I should start feeling a lot more.
I am kind of guessing that one of the first times that I felt a movement that it may have been a false alarm because Daniel and I now have a better idea of where our baby is at. Yesterday morning I woke up and ran my hand down my entire stomach. Right when I got to where my belly button was, this bulge started. I was like....oh my gosh!!....that's the baby! It was just a little pouch unlike the rest of my stomach. I gently pressed down on it and could feel that the pouch was just a little bit more solid! I was like Daniel.....look ...look! That's the baby! He came over and was able to touch my belly and see what I was seeing. He left for work a little bit after that and I went into the kitchen and fixed myself a two pop-tart breakfast with a healthy glass of milk. :) I ate my pop tarts and then shortly after I felt these little movements...which I am guessing were kicks! The baby must have been excited to get to eat those yummy pop-tarts because it was the most movement I have ever felt the baby make!
So, the reason I say that I think one of the first times I felt something was probably a false alarm was because now I know where the baby is and a couple of weeks ago when I felt a movement like there was a worm crawling across my belly, the movement was too high for it to be the baby! That's ok though...because it was exciting to think it was our precious child at the time. Now I can feel the baby (I call it a him) for real!
