i felt it the first time in church. and to be completely honest, i didn't know if it was just a gas bubble or not. it seemed too early to be able to feel this little being move inside me. but it felt...different.
i emailed my doctor and asked her if it was too soon. she asked me what i felt. i told her. she said, "sounds like baby to me!" but that i probably wouldn't feel it again for about another week.
that friday, i was taking a 'chill-day' staying in my pj's and watching romantic movies all day (highly recommended to any woman). Lying in bed i felt that same 'tickle' low in my abdomen. I couldn't help but giggle. "hello my little one."
I poked the area where i felt the tickle. and the most amazing thing happened! i felt the tickle again!!
i caught by breath. no way. did it really poke me back?
so i poke again... and AGAIN the little being tickled back!
at this point i had tears in my eyes! I poked again. nothing. i poked again. nothing. but i didn't care, i was so tickled with joy that i had to tell someone what had happened! I called Daniel, he laughed. i didn't feel like he truly understood my celebration.
so i called my mom. she giggled with me and enjoyed the moment of remembering with me.
"my baby played a game with me!"
it was a week and two days later that i felt the growing babe move again. but that will truly be a highlight of my first pregnancy.
