Can you Say Wiggle??

WOW!! A week ago today, the doctor asked if I was feeling the baby move a lot... I was 22 weeks last week and that is usually a time when the mom starts to feel the baby moving she said. I told her that I had felt a few movements - the first one was like a large bug running across the inside of my tummy. Then, I felt a few flip flops - they truly felt like butterflies in your stomach as you approach the top of a roller coaster. I told her that I had felt each sensation just a couple times though. She said not to be worried, and that in the next 2 weeks I should start feeling more movement more often. So, we have been patiently waiting.

Jonathan was at the doctor's office with me (isn't he the greatest!) and he asked if he would be able to feel kicking and wiggling soon too. Dr. Gallegher said he will be able to feel movement from the outside within the month!

So, just as she predicted, I started feeling more and more movement over the weekend and by Wednesday of this week, the little man starting doing a dance I now call The Wiggle from about 7:00 PM to midnight and then again early in the morning! I guess he is preparing me for the first weeks he will be home....can someone tell me how to train him in utero to be a good sleeper???

It is the most amazing feeling and continues make the reality that I have a little living creation of God living inside me!! It is so cool....so for all of you that know I love you lots and lots, feel free to reach out and touch the tummy to see if you can feel it the next time you see me!
