09-8-2009 - I felt something last night!

My mood while writing this blog: Kinda bored (at work!)

Yes, we all know what the doctors say; before 18 weeks it's gas or something, especially if this is your first baby.

I have felt a few things over the last few weeks but didn't think much of the bubbles I've felt in my tummy. I have been expecting that I'll start feeling movement after the 4.5 month mark.

HOWEVER, last night after eating dinner I was taking a big cold drink and I FELT SOMETHING! It only lasted for a fleeting moment, but it was like nothing I've felt before. It's hard to explain, but it was on the bottom left side of my abdomen, and it was a STRONG fluttering feeling. Anything else I've felt has been mild, but also lasted longer and did feel like air, so I'm sure the other feelings were gas or digestion. When I felt it I froze and looked at Chris and he said "What?" and I said "I ........... I just FELT something" and we smiled at each other.

Men are funny creatures; he took it in his stride and said "well yeah, you're going to feel it moving" and he didn't quite understand the amazement I was feeling.

I suppose for now I don't know if it was the baby or this mysterious 'gas' (hahaha) but it really was different and exciting and it brought tears to my eyes, thinking I might have felt movement for the first time!
