Ok. The magical moment when you can feel your baby move for the first time. I just felt it last Thursday. I've heard it described as "fluttering" or "butterflies in your uterus." It's felt like that once or twice, but for me, it actually feels more like the cross between a painless moving gas bubble and fingers moving under my skin. While trying to describe this to my mother, aunts, and grandmother, we got into this hilarious conversation. We realized that the feeling is very hard to describe. One of my aunts said it felt like carbonation bubbles. The other described it as feeling as though a golf ball were rolling around in her uterus. My grandma just said, "Your mother has pointy elbows. It felt like pointy elbows." I thought we might get some funny answers . So, what did it feel like?

I am still only feeling little flutters at most times, but as we speak I am playing baby Mozart to baby and I feel what Kristin describes as frogs jumping, haa haa. . .I think it is baby kicking, I don't know if it is dancing and kicking and turning all over, or if it is kicking like "get that d__n music off of me!!" :0)
