Just hanging out, waiting for it to move....

I keep waiting for the baby to move. Little mr. or mrs. tyrannosaurus rex with the 156 beat/minute heartbeat move.

It's weird, because I can feel it now. Obviously I don't mean I can feel movement, but I can feel that it's there. My stomach is starting to stick out a little, and get hard. Suddenly (actually, at about 6:30 monday evening), I felt like I had pod attached to the front of me. Like a fanny pack on my waist almost, but I couldn't get rid of it. And that feeling hasn't gone away. It must be the baby.

It's so weird, because seriously, up until monday night, it so far has felt like--nothing. I knew it was there when I was sick, or when my boobs hurt, but other than that, my body felt no different--I didn't feel pregnant at all. Something weird happened, and now I suddenly FEEL pregnant. I can't describe it. Does anyone know what I am talking about?

So my belly sticks out a little now, and it's sorta hard to the touch. When Kevin hugs me, I can feel my hard solid feeling gut push against him.

Dude, seriously, isn't that weird???? That's f-ing weird!! Come on, you know it is.

So here I am, waiting for it to move. It seems like it could move at any time. Anything could prompt it to move, so I could feel it anytime. That's going to be so weird.

And I will be able to feel it soon I'll bet, because it's probably very big and strong.

Today I thought I might have felt it move, but I'm not sure. I felt like a 'tightening' sort of. Hmmm. I don't know. I might just have been hungry--it was almost lunchtime.

I will start feeling it (and knowing it!) for sure soon!

Chunky monkey--when did you say your u/s is? Are you finding out the sex then??
