Over the past week I have begun to feel our little Lefty wiggling, moving and grooving inside me. At first I wasn't totally sure what it was....could've been gas or anything I guess. But..it's persisted and now I'm sure that it's the little one letting me know it's alive and kicking. It feels kind of like I have this rolly polly in there that does these little turn overs right against my insides. An odd sensation for sure...and not the kicking I was expecting to get first. I guess that comes later. This is all becoming so real now and with the gender ultrasound in only 6 days, that just seals it.
Another thing that continues to move is my weight. And might I say that the number on the scale is moving on up. Rapidly. Much faster than I'd prefer. I hadn't weighed in a few weeks, so today I decided it best to get on scale before an appt. with my OB. I have now passed a scary number for me on the scale (150) and have gained just shy of 15 pounds. AHHHHH! How did this happen? Except for the occassional fast food splurge, I'm really not eating so bad or so much. I was braced for the doc to tell me today to slow it up, but she just told me I looked great and everything sounded great and sent me on my way. Phew! I was hoping to gain no more than 30 lbs. with the pregnancy, but that's looking like less and less of a reality since I'm halfway to that number already and not yet halfway through the pregnancy. Oh well. I guess I need to just do I what I know is best for my body and let it do it's thing without sweating it too much.

Wooohoo grats for you! (yeh for hte doc not scolding you)
I think I am "feeling things". It's like a weird "oh my things just moved on my inside" feeling. It's a weird jolt or how i would describe what a wripple would feel like on the inside of your abdomen.. is this somewhat to your feelings????
glad you're starting to feel things, how exciting!
yeah foir roly poly feelings. and as far as the weight gain - Mangé! This is the one time you can eat without guilt!
My favorite part of being pregnant was always that feeling of the little one inside...
...and gaining weight!
So enjoy both! :)
Six days!! Weeee~! Can't wait to hear, boy or girl. :D
No worries on the weight, this is definately the one time you shouldn't worry about it. :)
That must be so exciting to feel the movements. :D
So excited you are starting to feel Lefty! Can't wait for the results of your next ultrasound.
Ooh, movement! I am so jealous and yet so happy for you all at once!
