Baby Barrett is!!!
I FINALLY felt the first movement from Baby Barrett last night!! (at 10:32 pm to be exact!)
I can't even tell you how happy that made me! The past few weeks I've been trying everything to get the lil' bugger to move enough for me to feel it. Lots of poking, prodding and rubbing the belly to no avail. But last night Baby B must have felt it was finally time to make it's debut. I had been busy all day with errands, cleaning, projects and decided to take a nice bath to relax and ease the soreness I was feeling (it's amazing how sore you can get by doing everyday things). I got out of the tub and went to watch SNL with J before heading to bed and finally I felt something! I haven't quite figured out what the temperature should be for a bath while pregnant and perhaps it was a bit more warm than it should have been and maybe Baby B was telling me to cool off a bit :) I felt it loud and clear! I waited a few moments to see if it was my dinner digesting or anything, but it was definitely not that. I felt these little taps in my belly (probably about 7 of them), in the same spot and I knew it was the feeling I've been waiting so long to feel.
As much as I want to keep feeling those little taps, I won't be taking hot baths to encourage it. I know in only a short period of time now, I'll be feeling much more than that. Can't wait!
I SO miss those pregnant butterflies!!! There must be something about the tub, since I remember feeling him more than ever when I took a bath. So happy for you :)
ReplyDeleteIts hard to believe that your already 18 wks. I feel like it was just a few weeks ago that you were starting injections! How time is flying by!
