Kari was really helpful with this realization when I talked to her yesterday. I was still kind of skeptical until I realized where the feeling was coming from. Yes, some of it was food related, but this is definitely (I'm pretty sure of it) not. I don't feel the sensation of bubbles or butterflies though and that's what I kept waiting for to feel. For me it's more like... have you ever tried to catch a small fish with your bare hands, and once you caught it, you could feel it moving around in the water that's in your hands and "bumping" into your hands trying to find a way out? That's basically what this feels like to me. Another way of thinking about it is like an irregular throb (not a pulsating one) in my lower abdomen that doesn't hurt and kinda moves from one spot to another at any given moment.
I'm hungry, so I'm gonna get some breakfast and see what this kid does when I give it some food!

I had a dream about pregnancy. One girl I was talking to had a really thin belly and you could see the baby pushing with its arms and legs against it.
Needless to say I awoke a little freaked out!
Interesting about the flopping fish feeling....
Haha! That is a little freaky!
Does the fish thing make sense? I hope I didn't use a description that is completely unrealizeable.
What's even freakier is that late in pregnancies, you really can see like little hands or feet when they push out. I remember Kat doing that right before she was born and being totally weebed out.
Yep, it makes sense. If you've lived in a cave and never gone fishing/held a fish, it might not make sense. :)
Until you feel the baby moving around, does it still seem a little surreal?
Wow, it's unfathomable what it must be like to have all of that going on inside your body!
I can't wait to SEE it!
Actually, it's still so surreal. Maybe it will be more real when the due date gets closer and I'll be thinking, "this is really going to happen"!
