Twitches and Flutters

Written on May 19, 2006 – 8:55 am

I think I’m starting to feel the baby move. It’s very faint and hardly ever, but I do feel something. Like little muscle twitches or flutters in my belly. It’s weird, because they only last a second and if I’m not paying attention I’ll miss it. I felt it about a week ago, then again last night I felt it twice.

And last night I went to the bathroom and as I was walking back out I felt so much pressure on my bladder. So I put my hands on my belly and felt a hard little lump in my abdomen. I held my hands there while I walked to the other room to get Eric to feel. The little lump jiggled as I walked. He felt the baby too and kissed my belly. Then I walked back to the bedroom. By the time I walked back the baby had moved and there was no little lump anymore. It was really cool feeling.
