I’m like a kid before Christmas waiting for this Nino to move. I know he’s been moving around like a break-dancing monkey for weeks, but I haven’t felt it yet. Supposedly, you start feeling teeny-tines moving between 16 and 22 weeks. I am at 17 and still nothing. This might be TMI for some of you, but when you’re pregnant your guts tend to reposition to make room for Baby. You start feeling all kinds of weird sensations and random jabbings, so once you’re supposed to feel the baby, you really aren’t sure if that is what you are feeling. Apparently you’ll notice little flutters and things and mistake them for intestinal rumblings, or in other words---farts. But because the same sensation becomes frequent, you realize it’s Baby kicking away. I’m really excited for that realization. I want to get to know Nino and find out if he’s content and busy. Since feeling him move will be my only means of communication with him, it will be a good start.
Oh and in case you read the blog entry about my finding a new doctor and you’re wanting an update:
The morning sickness (or all-day hell sickness) prevails but much more mildly. I have a drug I take periodically to help with my appetite. I am much better now AND I am growing!
We still don’t know the sex, but we’ll find out at the next ultrasound. It will be in just a couple of weeks. I still think it is a boy, although at night I’ve dreamt only of baby girls who incidentally have Franny’s head and walk around on adult legs.
My belly is getting big! People are looking at it instead of my face when we talk and I’m getting lots of fun compliments about my pregger gut. I’m quite proud of it and I look at it in every reflective surface possible. I also glance down quite frequently to ask Martian just what the hell he is up to in there.
Okay, so I just felt this little tiny flutter, like a bubble popping. Could it be Nino, or is it an “intestinal rumbling”??? I’ll know in approximately 30 seconds…fart or Nino?
Damn it! Fart.
