I just felt the baby move!
For the first time ever, right here on the couch while I was writing a post yesterday, I felt it.
It's actually been bothering me because I haven't felt anything yet. I am at 19 weeks, and what I've read is that many woman feel the baby move between 18 and 22 weeks. Takes longer when its your first one, but still. Obviously at 18 weeks I was expecting to feel something. Flutters, bubbles, anything.
But I hadn't felt anything, and it was messing with my mind a little. Because I'm pretty sure that is what mom's do. Worry about everything.
So (get ready for some TMI) I'm sitting here thinking about how I have to go to the bathroom when I feel a flutter against my bladder. (Hey - I warned you... but all I said was "bladder" and that is not so bad. I hear with pregnancy it gets much worse than bladder.)
Like just a teeny tiny little flutter. And I've felt it like 3 times since typing this us. And I don't want to go to the bathroom because I'm afraid if I empty my bladder I won't be able to feel it anymore!!
Its amazing. So amazing! I've heard the heartbeat, I've seen a little blip on the screen (WEEKS ago) and I've watched my tummy grow to the point where I can't really close all my pants. Some... just not all.
But now, feeling that little life inside me is incredible. Like nothing before. There is a little growing PERSON in there. It has put a giddy little smile on my face and brought tears to my eyes.
Motherhood continues to amaze me. And tomorrow is yet another big day. We find out if Kingston and Kyrie are getting a baby sister or a baby brother! And we get to see the little one on screen again. Our last ultrasound was at 6 weeks, so its been awhile.
I'd love to have another boy. I LOVE being a mom to boys. I have felt so blessed by my two perfect sons already.
And I'd love to have a girl. Having a daughter would be so much fun. Kingston and Kyrie would do great with a sister.
I'll be filled with joy tomorrow and I can't wait to find out.
It's also our anniversary. Four wonderful years :) So David and I are going to spend the morning together going to the doctor, seeing our baby, eating breakfast, shopping maybe, who knows. And I can't wait :)
This is one of the happiest times of my life. And I'm feeling so very blessed.

| My first attempt at a belly shot. I'm not very good at these photos. These pics are so cute on other moms. Awkward on me. |

| Second attempt. Worse I think. |

So exciting MaKenzie!!! It definitely is an amazing feeling to feel your baby move inside you! Can't wait to find out what you're having!!
So, So, So happy for you!!! Enjoy every minute of your pregnancy! It is truly one of the best times in your life! Such a blessing!!! You look so cute too! :)
I don't know how to make this NOT sound creepy, but I just saw you at the store. :) Being the introvert that I am, I of course didn't approach you, but if I did, I would've told you that I love to read your blog, and your boys are so cute and OMG!!! I remember that beautiful moment when you feel that first baby flutter and wow! You found out the gender this morning? Tell me all about it, even though you don't know me! No, it was better that I didn't. But anyway, you look beautiful, and may God bless your family!
Tina, that is too funny! If you see me again, say hi! I'll probably be really awkward and shy in person too so it will be awesome :) You are very sweet :) I hope you had a great day shopping!!
Oh those early flutters are the best! I remember sitting at my desk at school and feeling them at the same time in the same place every day with Charlie. Ah good times. So excited for you to feel all these things in your own body!
Aww.. I love feeling the baby move! It's my favorite feeling.. It just got strong enough for my husband to feel too.
Can't wait to hear what you are having..
I find out what ours is today!! I'm so excited.
Oh, and happy anniversary! :)
