17 Weeks & Feeling Kicks!!!

Thursday, September 22, 2011 - Posted by Danielle at 6:27 PM
It has been a very big week!!! Overall, I've felt a lot better; not quite as much energy as last week, but still feeling good! The biggest thing this week has been feeling kicks!!!! What an amazing feeling!!

Last Saturday night, we were laying in bed and I felt something kind of "dance" from the left side of my lower stomach over to the right. I told Mark I was pretty sure I felt something. Well the next morning, I got up, let Sailor out, went to the bathroom, and came back and laid back in bed. That time, I felt 3-4 solid little taps. I read online that someone was describing it as "popcorn popping"...that is exactly right!! Since that time, I've definitely been feeling more and more and movements and I feel like they've gotten stronger/more noticeable. Maybe I just know what I'm looking for now?? I just can't wait until they really become consistent and Mark is able to feel them! We've tried a few times, but he hasn't been able to feel anything yet.

It's all starting to feel really real now!! Up until now, without having a big bump or being able to feel anything, etc., it kind of just felt like a really bad flu bug and even though we had everything confirmed, etc. it's just been hard to not keep telling myself that it isn't true! Now it's definitely becoming a reality though!!
