Butterflies That Go Thud

It finally happened! I felt Zoe move!!! YAY!!!! I felt her for the first time last night, but wasn't sure if I was imagining things. Well, I felt her again tonight and it felt the same way. I've been feeling light thuds in my lower abdomen with a sensation immediately following that feels like butterflies. It's the most wonderful feeling in the world.

Still Waiting....

...to feel Baby D move for the first time. I'm officially getting anxious! Last Wednesday night, while I was in bed, I felt two back-to-back flipping sensations in my stomach. I got really excited because I thought it was Baby D moving rather than gas because nothing followed those sensations....if you know what I mean. Anyway, I haven't felt anything since then, so maybe it wasn't the baby. Maybe it was gas after all???? Dunno. All I know is that I'm getting impatient, and I want to feel this baby move. According to the pregnancy books and websites, it can still take up to 3-5 more weeks until I feel movement since this is my first child. But on average, most women feel their baby move for the first time between 16-20 weeks. So I'm still in range. In a few weeks when Baby D starts boning up on his/her taekwondo skills I'm sure I'll long for this day again, but right now I'm just ready and anxious.

Come on Baby D, move for mommy!!!
