It's funny the things you anticipate when you're pregnant. I'm almost finished with week 18 now, and the one major thing I'm looking forward to is feeling the first fetal movement. I read everywhere that it's hard for first-time mothers to tell the first movements because it often feels like gas bubbles or just an overturning stomach, but I just wish there would be a definite way to tell if it was the baby moving or just dinner moving around...hehehe...
Sometimes I sit really still with my hands on my peh and my eyes closed and think about the baby swimming around in there...imagining him/her reaching out and touching the walls and feeling around him/her. It makes me smile.
I sang to the baby today on my lunch break. Jeff and I are really looking forward to our next appointment this Friday. I'm hoping that this doctor will let us know the gender...if she can. If the baby will let us know. :) We really want to know so we can starting imagining the little one as a he or a she and address it as such.
How exciting!
