Wow! I can't believe I waited so long to update! I should be ashamed of myself ...especially since I've had a few neat things happen :) Good thing I'm good about writing down dates!
On February 23 (I was 16 weeks), I was laying on the couch (I do that every night now...more about that later) and I felt a little flutter sensation. It felt like when someone is playing the drums on your arms with their fingers. It lasted for several minutes and then happened again later. I was so excited! I've thought that maybe I'd felt the baby move in the past, but I realize now that it probably wasn't the same thing.
I didn't really feel much consistently after that but the last few days (especially if I'm laying still) I feel the baby move :) It's a wonderful sensation!
Secondly, my back and lower abdomen freaking hurt at night. This is one of those things that no one thinks to tell you about BEFORE you are pregnant. I normally spend my time after dinner cuddled up on the couch with a heating pad. Eric has been really sweet about it, I think because he realizes that I'm in pain. It's not like "killing" pains, but they are pretty uncomfortable.
After a few nights of this I called the doctor and they said it is stretching ligaments and my uterus getting larger to accommodate the baby. Apparently, a lot of moms complain about this when they are about 16 weeks along. Yeah!
Dear LoveBug,
Mommy is glad to feel you! Thank you for fluttering around and letting mom know that you are alive and kickin! I can't wait to see you again on March 18th!
