i am DEFINITELY feeling the baby moving. yay yay yay!

[Deleted]

i've been freaking about this.  but i'm totally feeling it.  this is my reward for wigging out like nobody's business for almost 19 weeks, nonstop nausea, and popping so early i actually went out and bought more maternity shorts since i knew the 1 pair i had wasn't going to make it through the whole summer (my own kid was like "mommy, your tummy is getting really big because there's a baby in there.").

and one week from tuesday i have the anatomy scan!  this is exciting!*


*i recognize that this is mostly exciting to me, and that this post is random and AWish.

No way, very cool and exciting! I know some people are icked out over it but I can't wait to feel our baby move!

We had our first u/s this week and it was so awesome I laughed a ton so I get it. It's cool to see the kid moving!!!

oh, i have moments of "wtf, this is super gross, i'm currently inhabited by a parasite."  but i've been so nervous about the viability of this pregnancy, that i'll take anything i can get.



I'M SO EXCITED.  i saw a smooshy little baby at the playground today and was like "i'm going to have one soon!"

this was after i cried approximately 10,000 buckets of tears watching toy story 3 this morning with my kid, sobbing about how she's going to grow up and so will the baby and our family of 3 is currently perfect and i'm ruining everyone's lives.  so, i'm a wee bit erratic.

[Jalapeñomel]

[iamgrace]

[snickers]

[Bree Van de Kamp]

Aww, that's the best feeling ever, isn't it! And the milestones just keep on coming...anatomy scan, being able to feel baby from the outside, ect. Adorable.

The baby moving and baby hiccups were the best part of being pregnant!!

Um me too.  I have this thought all the time.  I keep getting all freaked out and teary that I'm changing our sweet little family.  I love kiddo 1 so very very much and have a million thoughts on this that I can't articulate.   I hear from everyone it just all works out and happens and somehow you have all that love for 2 kids but it's so hard to imagine and os hard to imagine the change.  lol, one of my fave uncles brought that up, unsolicited and I haven't really voiced those thoughts.  He just randomly brought it up how it's freaky to think of adding another, how to have time and love and everything for 2 and yet you magically do.   It was really super sweet of him to share that feeling.   (they're about 10 years older than me, so they're probably the closest to remembering how that felt)

Oh, and kiddo is moving a ton now, too. I have been feeling him for a few weeks, but not a huge amount.  Now it's a lot more consistent but dh can't feel yet.  What week are you again? I'll be at 21 on Monday.

So, did the maternit21 test not give you gender? You were going to find out, right?



And I'm an emotional ball of mess more than I care to admit.

baby hiccups - did you feel them before?

I swear I never felt them w/ C, unless I confused them w/ regular motion? I don't know, but she's been a hiccuping fool since she was born. Her first 8 months of life were like continual hiccups. We asked doctors all the time about them but they said they were normal. Even strangers would comment at how much she hiccuped. It's weird I never felt them on the inside!

[tdk2]

and one more b/c I can't get my thoughts together.

I've been reminding myself and wanted to remind you - motion can stop for a few weeks around this time frame and it's totally normal. That happened w Cecilia. I had been feeling her for a few weeks pretty consistently and often and then couldn't for a week around the 20-22ish week mark or so. Dr said it was totally normal.

(doesn't mean I still don't internally freak a bit, but just so you can mentally tell yourself if there are pauses in it).

[Monica Geller]

Yay for baby movement!!

[SKP82]

Aw! That is great!

I have been feeling our little one move around the past couple of days. It's such a weird feeling. Sometimes I don't know if what I feel is the baby or not, and then other times it's like, "Okay, that was DEFINITELY the baby."

[kristie]

Awww, yay! Do you have any strong leanings towards girl or boy? So glad you are feeling him/her move. DH is acting like I am crazy to be considering maternity clothes already since I didn't show until well after 20 weeks last time. I keep trying to tell him this will be different since my pants are already tight. Lol

[rex]

This is so exciting!!!

I like feeling the baby move only so I know she's alive. Besides that I'm totally one of those people who find it creepy and kind of annoying.

i FEEL like it's a girl.  but that's probably because A) i have a girl and B) L keeps referring to the baby with female pronouns and told her whole daycare that she's having a baby sister.  so it's just what i'm accustomed to.

tdk2, i had the same moving/not moving thing with L so i'm prepared.  and i don't have the faintest idea what a fetal hiccup is supposed to feel like; if L had them, i thought they were something else.  they ran the wrong blood test (harmony instead of maternit21), so i didn't get to learn the sex at 12 weeks.

[underwaterrhymes]

Yay! That was my absolute favorite part of pregnancy.

I knew H was a boy from almost the very beginning. Sometimes your gut instinct is right.

BOO to the wrong test, that sucks!  (but you still got the no trisomies verdict, right? 

I felt like it was a girl, too, but I didn't know if I just had the pic in my head of 2 little girls like my sister and me who are the same age apart as C and kid will be.    I'm excited for boy but still trying to get my head around the fact it's a boy.

Good, glad you're prepped.  I have to keep reminding myself when kid pauses for a bit.  I internally freak, but even last pg, it's not like i called in worried to ask, but it was reassuring to learn normal when I asked at an appt.
