My first trimester is officially over! I can't believe the relief I feel knowing that the chances of miscarriage have dropped so drastically. I can actually start to enjoy my pregnancy more too. My symptoms have subsided and I am starting to get my energy back. I actually feel normal again. My doctors appointment went well and the baby is developing normally.
I had been reading about feeling those first movements. That it will occur sometime during the 2nd trimester. But, with me just starting week 14, I just knew it would be a while before that would happen. Plus, with this being my first pregnancy the chances of me knowing what those movements were was very slim.
One evening I was laying on the couch watching T.V. Then all of a sudden I felt something weird in my belly. Could it be the baby? A few minutes later I felt it again. It was the most magical feeling in the world. To me it felt like someone tickling me, but from the inside. As the week goes by I only feel the baby every few days. I began to worry about the lack of movement. But, then I read that it was normal to feel the baby only a few times and then go days without feeling it again. Every time I was able to feel the baby it was wonderful. I can't wait for those first kicks!

With your and Eric's background in martial arts, the baby should be a natural when it comes to kicking! lol
ReplyDeleteLOL...you are right about that! I want to get the baby in martial arts. Eric is hesitant b/c he doesn't want the baby to get hurt! He is already in protection mode! :)
