As I got started with weekly bump updates I didn't recognize that I was actually posting closer to the following week (like week 18 I wrote a day before I was 19 weeks!). I can't help I've enjoyed blogging while watching College Football Gameday. BUT all of my pictures are taken on their respective days. I'm trying to catch up so bear with me. We're 1 week until halfway!! I cannot believe it.
Kevin's been out of town the last several nights, so I was on my own for this pic (though before he left he drew our Mango, and clearly wrote Mango. Me and my fellas have missed him a whole bunch, and I blame my poor sleeping habits the last couple of nights on his absence.
So since my "week 18" update, not a whole lot has changed. EXCEPT One. Big. Thing.
I was laying quietly on the couch watching football, when there were distinct feeling. It was the feeling that I have expressed time and time again I have been anxiously and eagerly awaiting. Sure I've felt faint flutters randomly here and there over the last couple of weeks, but questioned every single time that they were gas. But this was different. I felt distinct movements in a specific spot... so of course out of curiosity I gently press down on my abdomen there. And what happens???? I felt it again! Now I know that it was likely a coincidence that she moved right after I pressed on my belly, for the pure fact she was just moving consistently at that point in time. Either way, it was more than a flutter.
I immediately texted Kevin. To which he replied that he showed the whole dinner table (of business colleagues, mind you).
I was prepared to not feel this for a few more weeks, but they say everyone is different. I'm sure it helps that I am slim so there's not a whole lot of excess cushion. Now I'm just dying to feel it over and over again. I could get used to this! (Insert a snide rebuttal from a recent preggo about getting kicked in the ribs). Well, she can't reach my ribs quite yet, so I'll take whatever I can get.
