Last Monday, we had an appointment with our OB...just the routine monthly check-up to make sure that everything is still going as planned. Dr. Thackeray asked me a funny question. Actually, given the fact that I am pregnant and he is my OB, it's not really that funny.
Dr. Thackeray: "So, have you felt the baby move at all?"
Everything that I had read said that I wouldn't start felling Baby move until 18 or 20 weeks. (Today I am only 14 weeks and 4 days) He said that some women feel movement this early and told me some of the ways those women had described the feeling - pop rocks, spiders crawling, butterflies fluttering, gas, etc. He also said that if I did feel the baby move, it would be between my pelvic bone and bellybutton, right in the middle, and not on the sides.
This morning after I got to work and started getting into my "work groove," I felt something...I felt something right where he said I would feel it...and it felt like fluttery gas. I sat as still as I could and really paid attention. It happened for several seconds at a time for about 5 or 10 minutes. Then, nothing. I text Park to tell him that I was pretty sure that I just felt Baby move for the first time. "Your dreaming," he text back. Then I really thought about it. I think it very well could have been baby...but maybe it was just gas.
P.S. My boss told me that I was starting to show today. Surprisingly, it made me mad. I felt like it was a nice way of telling me that I was getting fat. Yes...I am a sensitive girl. I told her that it would go away after I pooped. Ha.
