there's a baby in there

After 14 and a half weeks, I finally feel pregnant! Until now, the fact that we're going to have a baby has seemed like a dream. Looking at ultrasound pictures of the baby and watching the baby flip and move on the sonogram has felt like an out of body experience. It has been hard to imagine that there is a baby growing inside of me. This morning, I was sitting on the couch after work and felt a "swishing" in my lower abdomen, like fish swimming around. The feeling only lasted about 15 seconds and it was gone. Everyone says that the baby's first movements feel like bubbles or butterflies. I'm pretty sure I felt the baby moving for the first time and it makes the whole pregnancy experience seem real! Now that I am through the first trimester, I am beginning to feel slightly less nauseous and am looking forward to being able to enjoy the second trimester. I have started to "pop" just a little and can feel my uterus protruding in my lower abdomen. We can't wait to see our baby again at the next appointment!
