16 weeks - First Movements!

16 weeks - X marks the spot of the ninja kick

Monday 28th May was my best friend's birthday. As I was awake before 7am, I sent her a birthday SMS, eager to be the first well-wisher for the day. As we exchanged messages, I felt something almost pop out my left side. I had heard that it should feel like bubbles or a fluttery feeling. So, I had kind of expected a delightful fizzy feeling, like champagne bubbles...but this felt like someone had popped a champagne cork in there. It was very distinctive.

I haven't felt any other movements since then, but it was very exciting to feel that. Sometimes I feel a rolling feeling inside my stomach, but I don't know if that's baby because it feels a bit high in my abdomen.

I've booked my 20 week scan in on Friday 22 June. It'll be so cool to see the little one again...and find out if it's a boy or a girl! it's only 3 weeks away now, it'll be here before I know it.

163 days to go.
