This has been a pretty exciting week for me, pregnancy-wise. On the drive back to San Diego from Disneyland, I felt the baby kick for the first time. It was distinct enough for me to know it was a kick, and it helped that I was sitting pretty still when it happened. Since then, I've been feeling little flutters in my belly, gentle little flutters. I must admit, it feels much better emotionally than it does physically. I've heard early baby kicks being described similar to a gurgling stomach, and I would say that's pretty accurate.
Another exciting thing that's happened this week is that strangers are starting to notice my belly. I've spent the last 2 months just feeling fat without the cute belly so I'm really excited that my belly is noticeable enough to those that don't know that I'm pregnant. At a time where you feel fat and nothing looks good on you, there's a comfort in knowing that people now realize that you look fat for a reason.
We (hopefully) will find out the sex of the baby a week from today. Last call for gender polls!
feeling the baby kick is the best feeling in the world :)
