First Movements!

Ive finally been feeling the baby fluttering around :) Its so exciting because Ive been having such a troubled pregnancy. Its such a pleasent feeling. And since its still too small for my hubby or kids to feel from the outside, its like a secret feeling that passes between me and the little one, if that makes sense lol. :) We got on the 26th for our big growth ultrasound, and am really hoping all is healthy and that the baby cooperates and shows us if its a boy or girl. My mothers instict is boy, but since I have three boys and no girls, maybe that is all I know :) I wanted to say thanks to those of you who have shown support throughout the last 17 weeks, and who were there to help calm my nerves when I was a wreck. It meant alot to me! :) Hope you all have a blessed weekend!

YAY! congrats on feeling those first movements! I can't get enough of feeling the baby move - so cool!

I have been feeling movement ALOT in the last week :) I thought I was having a girl for sure since I already have 2 - but NOPE it's a boy! Hope your little one cooperates so you can find it who is in there! :)

How exciting!!!  I knew this one was a boy, but then again I knew what my other 2 kids were too before the 20 wk u/s.   I had one of each and knew this one was a boy, so it didn't surprise me at my 18 wk visit they said boy!   Boys are so fun and I love that I will have 2, but I'm glad I have a girl too.   You will love it if you have a girl, they are fun to dress up but most of the fun is to see how they get daddy wrapped around their little finger right from the beginning- it's so cute!

I loved feeling the baby move at first, but man lately he is getting so big that sometimes it's so uncomfortable and sometimes painful when he's shifting around in my tummy.  It says on this email I get that he is a little over 4 lbs and 17 inches now,  I'm amazed that these babies can fit so snugly inside us!!!!!   But I know I'll miss it one day and I'm glad he's moving so much because I know he is growing and doing ok inside of there.

Awesome! It's like the best feeling ever! It really helps ease your mind too if you're a worrier like myself. I sure hope the baby cooperates for you and you get to find out if it's a boy or girl!

how exciting :)

 The first flutters are def the best....mine dances now....I think she is in there practicing her basketball/softball moves (Have to dream she is going to be a sports nut like mommy...from 3D ultrasound we already know daddy got the looks)....I hope your baby shows the goods....and maybe get to add some pink to that house!  Good luck-Stacey

Thanks for all the comments and well wishes ladies! I so love hearing the tales about each of your pregnancies! Im so excited and counting down the days untill friday!!! Its going to drive me nuts untill its finally time lol. My hubby and 8 year old are going with me, and my 8 year old is excited because I promised he could call everyone to tell them what we are having. :) I will definatly let you guys know!! I wont be able to hold it in lol!

Those first movements are so cool.  Because I had an anterior placenta, I didn't feel much but vibration and then she started kicking...and I didnt know what it was because it was so down low(cervix).  I thought I was gonna lose my pee or something at first.  I remember looking at my mom going, "I keep feeling something weird going on down there.  Is that her? "  My mom laughed at me like nobody's business and was like, "ummm...thats your baby kicking!".  Now...when she gets going, I worry about her kicking too much, and then on her slow days, I worry about her not kicking enough.  BUT it is SUCH a reassuring feeling to feel them move and kick.  Congrats on your baby!!!!!!

I'm one of those people that hates being pregnant. The ONLY part of it that I love is feeling the babies move around.  It's the oddest yet most comforting feeling.  Sometimes I can feel one of the little buggars get started with the acrobatics and then the other one joins it.

I'm sure a few months from now when I have four feet and hands kicking and punching it may not be so comforting!
