Baby's Daddy Feels Him Move (Week 23)

Although mostly subtle at times, Dave is definitely able to feel the baby move now, which is really exciting. Our little one has been moving around quite a bit. The first time he felt him I was sound asleep, deep in a dream. When I awoke, he told me he had felt him kicking. I had been waiting for that moment to happen, it's funny it happened when I wasn't awake to see the smile spread across his face.

Baby Wiggles (Week 21)

I have definitely started feeling the baby move. Just little movements now and again letting me know that he's in there. I love the feeling and it makes me happy every time. I can't wait until Dave can put his hand on my belly and feel it too.

It's hard to describe the feeling. Each time it only lasts for a second, like saying "oh," real quick. Let's see... it's kind of like a little bubble popping. I can't believe it's a baby. Yay! I have also noticed that my belly has started changing shape. I think the baby is moving higher and I'm growing more out instead of wide. I think I'm doing pretty well despite all the banana splits I've had this week.

Also, I picked up a couple baby clothes items at the thrift store the other day. I just really wanted to buy "something" for him and not spend much money. They are so cute and tiny. I wonder how big he's going to be when he's born. Did you know that I was 11 lbs 2 1/2 ounces!? He definitely going to be born before he gets that big!

Baby Movement ? (Week 17)

I was lying in bed this morning with my hands on my belly, concentrating and trying to decipher whether I can feel my baby move yet or whether I'm just feeling the usual belly rumblings. Suddenly I felt what seemed to be the baby doing a somersault! I could feel it internally as well as with my hands. I smiled to myself and thought, "Dave would have been able to feel that". I then drifted back to sleep.

When I awoke some time later, I couldn't figure out whether I had been dreaming or whether I had really felt the baby move. I still remember the sensation, but I believe it was just a dream.
