Whoa. I really can't believe it. Someone at work asked me how far along I am today and it took me a minute (for some reason!) to say 20 weeks tomorrow! WHAT! 20 weeks! Halfway there! Are you kidding me!!!??!? Where did the time go? As much as I can.not.wait. to meet our baby, I have done NOTHING in preparation! I feel like I have so much to do. I need to start my list making. I meant to have done that already. You know, like each month what I want to accomplish, that sort of thing. But wow. 20 weeks tomorrow. Crazy town.
In other news, well, not really news-news, but I still haven't felt the baby. :( I'm sad when I think about it and sometimes, especially at night, I kinda freak out about it. I know 'they' say some people won't feel the baby until 22 weeks. But man I had hoped for sooner.
I think that is just what I need to kick my butt into baby nesting mode:
1. I need to feel this baby move!!!
2. I need to know if I'm planning for baby girl or baby boy! 6 more days! Vote and tell me what you think! (Poll is up on the right there).
Ok, gotta hit the road. I am meeting my girls for our monthly book club, gossip, and food eating session! Always fun times!
Before I go, humor me, when did you feel your baby move?
Around 19-20 weeks I started feeling her kick.

If you click this link for my blog it's toward the end of this post that I talk about thinking I finally feel her kick.
Around 17 weeks..but it was verrrry subtle at first!
ReplyDeleteI started feeling my baby around 20 weeks as flutters but didn't REALLY feel much until about 22. I will also say I had a couple scares and had non scheduled NSTs for decreased movement but my baby was always fine... I had an anterior placenta which my OB said was like "kicking into a mattress" so I didn't feel my baby a lot. Scary.
ReplyDeleteIsn't it crazy how fast time goes! I wanted to hurry up and meet my baby, but at the same time with how long it took me to get pregnant I wanted to enjoy it as much as possible. I felt fluttering (quickening) at 13 weeks. That's really early and rare, so don't let it worry you. {To all the haters (haha), yes it is possible to feel your baby that early. Check the American Pregnancy Association's website on quickening.} My sister-in-law was like you and didn't feel her baby for a really long time and she has a healthy and beautiful baby boy.
ReplyDeleteI started feeling little taps at around 18wks but def confirmed movement by week 20...Do you have an anterior or posterior placenta? I have a posterior so I know people with this usually feel the baby sooner:)
ReplyDeleteCant wait to hear what your having...Im thinking Boy:)
