Was it You, my Little Nudger??

I am writing this quick post while getting ready for work.  I just have to fill you in on my most recent encounter with our little angel..

 

The other night something woke me up. I felt some sort of light scratch from the insides of my belly.  I sat up and thought to myself I must be hungry; must be my stomach rumbles.  But there it was again.  And I definitely was NOT hungry.  So I just laid down again back to bed and fell to sleep wondering, "Was it you, baby??"

 

The problem is I am a first-time Mom.  I have absolutely no idea if that was indeed baby's tiny kicks.  I shared this to hubby the next morning and he was so upset I didn't wake him up, pout and all, hehe.. But I clarified of course that I'm not even sure at all if it was baby indeed.  When I got to work, I told a colleague about it during break and she confirmed to me that it must be my baby.  After all I am 20 weeks pregnant now, and the only thing is I have had no previous experience to compare the strange sensation to.  But describing it to her and her being a mom of two herself, she said only I will know.  And suddenly I had tears in my eyes... Coz in my heart, I knew... It really was our baby E.   I felt the first baby movements.  And I felt so humbled and so blessed to experience the magic of all of it...

 

That evening at work I was coaxing baby to make me feel some more.  I called E to tell him about it and he was so happy :) He said I better make sure to wake him up next time!  I kept on whispering sweet nothings to our baby while I was on idle time at my desk, and guess what?? At around 730pm, I felt that same flutter again.. And I just sat there with glazed eyes and I know my mouth was forming a small O, out of amazement... I definitely wasn't hungry (been eating snacks and bits at my desk the whole evening), and it was the same thing I felt the night before.   Like small pitter-patter and teeny tiny scratch of someone trying to get my attention.  I knew it was our baby...

 

All of this new emotions welling up inside me, I'm not prepared for it.. I am too happy!!!! Oh God I cannot wish for baby to start kicking big ones inside me, so that honey can feel 'em... So he/she really is ok, growing up so well! I am so proud and so thankful...

 

We love you baby!
