looking for fluttering butterflies
last night i spent about an hour lying on the couch trying to feel our baby's kicks. i thought i felt it a few times but i can't be sure if it's gas or the baby. they say that the first kicks should be felt around 16-22 weeks. at this stage, the kicks will feel more like butterflies fluttering, popcorn popping or a goldfish swimming around. i can't image any of those things in my belly! there had been a few times when i thought i felt fluttering (first time was in the office last week while i was talking to my prego coworker) but they're usually followed by gas or farting so i can't be too sure. while listening to music in bed, i put mik's hand on my belly. i felt "something" a couple of times but he couldn't feel them. again, not 100% sure - could be baby (cute) or could be gas (not cute). but we can't wait until we can both feel real kicks and jabs! some friends say to wait because once he starts to do that, i will wish it will stop because it's usually between 9pm-1am when i'm trying to go to sleep. sometimes it will hurt too. either way, i'm so excited and want to feel it now!!!
finally got my body pillow in the mail today. washed the cover and will try it on tonight! i find myself sleeping on my back a lot which is ok for now but won't be ok starting on friday (20 weeks).
