Owen's Monkey Business

So I've been feeling the bubble movements since week 16- pretty early to feel it for a first time pregnancy but I chalk that up to being pretty in tune with my body from yoga etc. Well, of course Derek has been excited and anxious for his turn to feel it from outside and we were figuring about 23 weeks onward for that according to what we've read. But tonight I had some orange juice diluted with cold water around 8 pm and baby started moving pretty strongly so D put his hand over and there was a pretty strong one that he felt! He kept it there for a bit and he actually felt it a few different times! wow! so we looked it up and 19 weeks is early for that but not unheard of! So he's psyched! A day and a half before the big ultrasound.

Over the past three days, I think I've started feeling the fluttery-bubbles feeling when you first start to feel the baby moving. Mind you, I have no reference point for this, but it definitely is a different feeling than I've ever had and very slight. kind of a thrill! I will keep you posted...
