The First Flutter

The First Flutter is very excited and also very strange. I first felt the baby move at about 16 or 17 weeks. It was just a little flutter down low and happen so fast if I was just laying there doing nothing I would have missed it. The flutters have come more frequently and more prominent. It has sometimes even made me very nauseous. I can feel the baby turning and that is making my stomach turn. It is a weird feeling kind of like being on a boat and getting sea sick. But the baby has gotten stronger and the flutters have turned into a quick jab inside my gut. My husband can now feel quick movements and it is very exciting. We are excited for when the baby is stronger and bigger and we will be able to tell if it was a foot or a hand. It is the strangest feeling to actually feel something moving inside of you and knowing that something is ALIVE in there. It is very distracting. But a great feeling all at the same time.
