Movement

I can officially feel the baby move!!! Earlier this morning David poked my belly and I felt a swishing feeling. His poke was a little high for it to have moved the baby, so I attributed it to my insides just kind of moving around thanks to his poke. Well, I sat down just a few moments ago to check my email and I felt a few flicks at my waist band. Since I am still in non-maternity pants, the waist band on my low(ish) waisted jeans is exactly around where my uterus is. (My baby bump actually is everything that is being pushed up due to the expanding uterus, and not the baby.)

Reality is that these flicks that I was feeling (and am still feeling) are a lot more than the baby flicking. He/she must be having a dance party to Carly's nap time singing. And unfortunately, I'm not sure David will be able to feel them quite yet - although I see him reading a Dr. Seuss story (or two) tonight to this baby just in case. But the baby is moving, which helps me trust that everything is okay and developing on schedule. All of which makes the waiting game until our next doctor's appointment just a little bit easier.
