Is that you little one?

I keep feeling a funny little sensation in my belly (well obviously not my belly but sounds much cuter than ute). It's as if there's a little fish in there releasing bubbles. Since this is my first baby I have no idea what first movements feel like .. but this has been going on now for a few days. Being 15wks3d I know it's early but what is it then??? I can't wait until I feel strong, reassuring kicks from my little one.

152

152. My new favourite number. My new favourite number because it's the rate that my baby's heart was beating today when my husband and I heard it in the doctor's office for the first time :) I thought I would cry but instead I laughed. And for those of you who know me you know my laugh isn't a gentle girlie laugh. It's loud and kind of snorty. And it must have scared the little one because after that we couldn't hear it anymore. My husband and I were both giddy with excitement. Incredible moment.

Things are definitely changing with my body as well. Most of my shirts (including my scrub tops) are getting uncomfortably tight around the boobs. And I had to buy a Bella Band to help my pants feel a little better. I also bought a pair of maternity jeans because I feel I may need them soon. I hate feeling uncomfortable in my clothes. At first I was thinking 12 weeks was too early for maternity wear but as my husband said ... if I need it I need it.

A very exciting day :)
