0 We have External Movement- and Mark got to feel it!

So we took a small mini vacation with friends to their lake house for NYE. Fun times. Lots of good food, good company and much needed relaxation. We arrived on the 30th in the afternoon and were able to relax and get settled for the weekend. Since I wasn't drinking, I made myself some mock-tails to get through the weekend. Love sales on cranberry juice and soda water! I woke up around 6am on NYE and felt some weird fluttering by the baby. I have been feeling this in the am, but nothing as strong as this. I quickly woke up Mark and was practically screaming- "I feel the baby, give me your hand." I am not sure if he was totally awake but he felt it. It was pretty exciting. I cannot wait to feel more! (remind me of that statement when its kicking the crap out of me.) I am feeling all of the movement very low, so I know the little booger is sitting pretty low still. I am fully showing and pregnant now. New post of the belly pic tomorrow for reference. The whole weekend was a great start to the new year - great way to start such an exciting adventure. Time to find a house, get moving and get work settled in the next 17 weeks. I cannot believe its already that close!

0 And we have movement

I posted the other day about week 19 and as we roll along I kept wondering when I was going to feel the baby move. The docs always say 16-20 weeks but some say it can take longer. When you havent heard or got to see the baby in almost 10 weeks you wonder what is going on in there. I realize its still early so I wasnt too worked up about it, but did plan to talk to the doc about it if I didnt feel anything soon. We have our ultrasound scheduled for the 20th of December so its coming up soon - not too much more time to wait.
As I was preparing for my workout yesterday I was running around the office like a mad woman trying to get everything finished for the day. Side note :man sometimes I wish I didnt feel so obligated to do these all the time because I was seriously tired- just feel too good after I finish them to stop. As I was finally settling down to relax, I noticed what felt like gas bubbles in my stomach. As I looked through the items I ate for the day, it just didnt make sense. As I sat still a little longer I realized it wasnt gas bubbles but actual movement. I thought i have felt some movement before, but we will write down 12/8/10 as the first official time I knew it was the baby moving. I cant wait for Mark to be able to feel it move. SO exciting.
I dont have much more to add now. I want to upload bump pictures, but Mark keeps hogging the camera- until I can snatch it away I will have to start taking my own pics in the bathroom mirror.
