Butterfly wings. :)

So everything I've read says that you can start to feel your baby moving from around 16 to 22 weeks. They say if it is your first pregnancy you will probably feel the movements later rather than earlier unless you are really thin...well...I think I started feeling our baby just after 13 weeks but then I told myself, "wait. that's way early. maybe it's just gas or something." After a couple days I decided that there is no way anyone could have that much gas and knew it was my baby. I find it truly amazing that your body and intuition work together to tell you what's going on...no matter what any book says, nothing can beat a woman's intuition! The moment I felt the baby, the thought came to my head, "that's our baby moving" and I thought I was crazy because it felt like little butterfly wings in my belly, but just last week Jeremy was resting his hand on my belly while I was reading in bed and all of a sudden our baby did some karate kicks or something! They were the hardest and most noticeable movements that I had felt up to that point. I looked at Jeremy with a huge smile and asked him if he felt it...his eyes were huge and he started laughing because he was so surprised. After that he didn't want to take his hand off just in case our baby said hi again, now every night he has to feel our baby kick at least once before we go to sleep, I love it!! We also went to our second doctor's appointment on the 30th and heard the babies heartbeat, it was beating at 155 beats per minute which is good...they say the faster it is the more likely it's a girl so I guess we'll see. :) It was so cute. :) I want to permanently imprint all of these awesome moments in my mind so I never forget... :)
