It Wasn’t Gas!

On the evening of April 2nd, I felt the baby move for the first time!

Corey and I were in bed watching TV when I felt this little jolt on the lower right-hand side of my abdomen. I didn’t pay too much attention until it happened again a few seconds later in the same spot.

At first I thought it might be gas, as I am quite toxic these days. But as the little flutters continued, it was clear it was Baby B making his/her presence known. So cool!

I told Corey and he immediately placed his hand on my belly where I felt the movement. Of course, he couldn’t feel anything—he likely won’t be able to feel the kicks and movements for a few more weeks—but I still could.

The stuff I’d been reading said that on average, you can expect to be able to feel the baby’s movements between 18-22 weeks. I was officially 18 weeks and 2 days. Baby B is already proving he/she is better than average. Go Baby!
