Well...I am now 4 1/2 months pregnant (a little over 18 weeks) and I have hit another PREGNANCY MILESTONE! No...I am not talking about the new leg cramping I am now experiencing, uncomfortable lower abdominal pains, or the horrible back aches I feel every single day (even though I have hit those wonderful 2nd trimester milestones as well). The milestone I am talking about is the FIRST FLUTTERS of little Josse ;)
At first I kept feeling gurgling in my tummy! Now that could have been the horrible nausea I still experience, or it could be gas (yah yah TMI...I know) or it could be the weird acid reflexes I get after pretty much anything I eat. So to say the least I have been ignoring the odd feelings and movement in my stomach area.
Well...last night as I was laying in bed I started to feel little movements in my belly again! It was late around 11:00pm and I was laying still for once. Usually I am always going, going, going, even if I have nothing to do and nowhere to go; I always find something to add to my "to-do list". Well, last night I had finally slowed down and I was just laying there in bed completely still (except for my mind which always goes 100 miles an hour). As I was laying there I started to feel little muscle twitches in my tummy. At first I ignored them because I figured it was just gurgling or gas but then the twitches kept coming. I put my hand on my stomach and occasionally I would feel what sort of felt like a little pulse. I grabbed Johns hand (even though he was half asleep) and I put it on my stomach. Just moments later there was another little twitch/pulse movement and John and I both felt it and we looked right at each other! We both knew right then and there that we 100% felt little Josselynn for the first time :) It was really amazing and it definitely made this whole pregnancy thing seem a little more real.
Anyways, now that I know what these little flutters feel like I am going to always be paying attention for them :) I can't wait until I start feeling full on kicks! (even though I am sure I will be tired of those kicks by 9 months!)
Well...I will keep yall posted on any other exciting things that happen!
Yay!!! I miss feeling Sebastian in my tummy! It is the most amazing bonding time between you two! Just wait until you talk to her and she moves or kicks! I miss that! Have fun!
