The Baby

Well, I'm declaring it official.

I can feel the baby moving. Chris has tried to feel it, but it's a little soon for that. (I'm going to try to catch his reaction on video if I can!) (I should have video-d his reaction when I took the pregnancy test! That was hilarious! Story for another day.)

I've felt flutters, and a lot more 'pressure'. I'm not sure how else to describe it. It isn't cramping, it's unlike anything else I've EVER felt, and it's not always in the same spot. Usually happens after I drink orange juice or eat a really sweet orange...!

Sometimes it's fairly strong, and catches me by surprise, and Chris gets a little freaked out by the look on my face, but it's just because it's so new...

: ) I can't wait until HE can feel the baby kicking. I'm so going to wake him up in the middle of the night when the baby kicks... heh heh heh...

(I know that it's a little bit early, but I'm VERY sensitive to my body, usually can feel ovulation, felt the implantation - although thought it was my period at first. About 6 years ago, I went to the doctor with this ache in my side and had some tests done, and after an ultrasound of my liver, they saw some spots called 'hemangiomas' that are very rarely painful, and the doctor and the ultrasound tech both said I shouldn't be able to feel them. They apparently weren't typical of the ones that would cause pain/nausea/other problems. But I felt them...)

ANYWAY, all of the books I've been reading have said that it is possible to feel the baby as early as 14 weeks, but 'most' first timers don't until closer to 20, depending on the person.

I'm not most. YAY!

I guess it's just one more way I'm different! (or at least I like to think so...)

*Also, the last time we were at the doctors, the baby was sleeping (according to the doctor) and the heart rate was slower, about 135-140. It started to speed up halfway through listening, and I could feel pressure, so that's another reason I figure that what I'm feeling IS the baby moving. I felt nothing, heart rate was slower, baby was sleeping. I felt pressure, heart rate went up, baby was moving... :)

*Chris got a call from the doctor yesterday not long after I'd gone to work, the results from my blood tests showed I am slightly anemic, and need to take Iron Supplements now. That would also be a contributing factor in the tiredness. Oh well, we're keeping the new bed anyway. (Delivery today hopefully!)

*Ultrasound is booked for 8 a.m. October 31! (Going to COld Lake on the 2nd of November, so that's perfect timing! We will most likely find out the gender, although we're going to try to keep it to ourselves for a little while. If we can.)
