I'd just gotten up to go to the bathroom (again) and was trying to find a comfortable position in bed. My left hip has been bothering me and my body has begun to change and become less predictable. I had finally settled down when I felt it.
tap...... tap, tap
I realized I was holding my breath. I looked at the clock to document the moment. I had spent an hour the night before trying to feel something.. anything and yet there it was when I least expected it. For weeks every time I felt anything I wondered if that was my little boy.
This time I was sure. That was a definite tap, tap, tap. Just below my belly button was the confirmation that my little guy was moving in there.
I have a baby growing inside me. And I felt him move. I was so excited I woke up B to tell him. He very groggily tried to sound enthused as he drifted back to sleep. I felt our baby move!
I didn't feel anything else that morning but I floated on a cloud the rest of the day. Around 5 pm I felt a little flutter... like fairy wings or butterfly kisses. I giggled to myself as I laid by the pool.
It's the most amazing feeling. Every day brings an extra dose of reality...and joy...and anxiety... and wonder...and awe.
Well hello Peanut, I'm here.
I have a big grin on my face as I was reading this. :) Those first flutters are SO precious.
ReplyDeleteI loved that feeling. That first little tickle, all to myself,is the best.
ReplyDeleteCongrats.
Oh I remember that feeling like it was yesterday!!! I got excited for you just thinking about it. Those first movements are just so special.
ReplyDeleteHow exciting and girl, you look amazing!!
ReplyDeleteAnd I am extremely happy about each and every one of your milestones! Yippee!!! : )
You are way cute, girl. So excited you're feeling little man move!
ReplyDeleteI remember that first feeling of the little guy (and mine was a guy the first time) and it's been over 3 decades ago. Awesome feeling!
ReplyDeleteCongratulations.
(Let's see what you say about him kicking by the 9th months, screaming LET ME OUT!) HA!
There is nothing better about being pregant than that...oh and being able to eat a lot!!! So happy for you:)
ReplyDeleteOh and you look absolutely adorable. Definitely glowing:)
ReplyDelete:-)
ReplyDeleteThe best feeling ever my dear!! so sweet, cherish those little flutters, I remember them like it was yesterday!! a wee little boy growing so big, you look darling in your dress!
ReplyDeleteYour post brought me back to the time when I first felt my daughter move...and gave me a huge smile...Whoo hoo! So exciting! OX
ReplyDeleteYou are definitely glowing! I love how you documented the date and time of the first movement. :-) That's so exciting.
ReplyDeleteBEST FEELING EVER!!!!!
ReplyDeleteI remember that special feeling of the butterfly flutterings that eventually turned into foot kicks and elbow jabs. It was so exciting!
ReplyDeleteYou are so gorgeous and glowing!
Awww!!! Your peanut said hello!! That's so exciting!
ReplyDeleteYou know what's funny. The morning I went into labor with Bug, I woke Jeff up to tell him and he said "okay" and went back to sleep. ?!?!?!? How boys subdue their excitement, I'll never know. :o)
You look adorable! I remember those little flutters. It feels wonderful to have that little person inside of you moving around. I enjoyed every minute of being pregnant.
ReplyDeleteWait till peanut gets in your rib cage and you can't breathe! You have a lot of things to go through yet. It will be fun.
Peanut made me cry again. Im so excited for you, though I can tell you that the tap will become a full on somersault with elbows and knees, that maybe disturbing to the outside viewer. Its fun no matter what though, and at some point you will be able to move him out of your lung space. HEH.
ReplyDeleteI remember that very feeling so distinctly, the joy and absolute wonder of it all and my moment was over 30 years ago! It's something you remember and treasure your entire life...
ReplyDeleteIt really is the most amazing feeling in the world! Even in a few months, when he is getting so big you can hardly eat, sleep or breathe, you'll still love it. Something our husbands will never fully understand.
ReplyDeleteYour belly is adorable!
Isn't it wonderful? I remember those moments very well. The awe, the reverence you feel when it really sinks home that you are growing a human being in there. And it gets so much better when the really get rocking in there. Some women complain about being kicked to pieces but I adored every minute of the belly watch and trying the guess what part was where. Enjoy! Jaxx
ReplyDeletePrecious!

*clapping my hands in happiness for your joy!*
ReplyDeleteI loved that feeling! I missed it when she was born. It's actually one of the things I remember most about the day she was born - laying there
ReplyDeletePoint is... Enjoy it! :)
For just a second I could remember what it felt like.....two babies jockeying for position. :)

Best feeling ever! And it just will keep getting better. :)
ReplyDeleteYou look adorable! Feeling your babe move is an exciting moment. So happy for you. All to soon you'll be holding this new little person and discovering how amazing being a Momma truly is! :)
ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful sensation! That boy is just letting you know all is well and just sit back and enjoy the ride!
ReplyDeleteYAY!
