Week 21- Splish Splash I was Taking a bath

The second question I am usually asked after people find out I'm pregnant is "Can you feel the baby move?" My answer has mostly been No. This question had started to become really bothersome as I started to think something might be wrong. Friends not as far along in there pregnancy have said yes they feel it baby moves all the time, doctor keeps asking have I felt movement yet. Now I'm not saying I haven't felt something. At first I thought oh that must be a gas pain. Didn't feel like bubbles to me. I'm told that's what it feels like when the baby moves, tiny bubbles. One time in week 17 Dave but his had on my stomach and I swear he popped me cause I felt something like when you drop on a roller coaster. But that was it. I know my baby moves all over the place, I have the DVD to prove it,but I kept thinking when the baby moves I'll know. Again what other moms have told me. Could I really not know when my baby was moving? So Tuesday night when Dave and I got and crawled into bed and we're talking Dave put his had on my tummy and there was the strangest feeling I had felt to date. A feeling I kinda recognized but not really. So I decided to get in the tub with the lights off and it made sure it wad dead quite in the bath room. I laid there with my eyes close and just rubbed my belly. There it was a again. It wasn't bubbles but like something turning over in my tummy. A quick flutter. The same feeling I had been having off and on. more off then on but had felt for the last 4 weeks or so. I finally had learned what it felt like to feel my baby move. But I do have to say that my Love Bug knows her daddy, because anytime he is around hugging or touching the belly she moves all over the place. Dave leaves and it stops. .
Now I have tired very hard to copy what Dave does but I do not get the same effect. Baby Guinan is for sure a Daddy's Girl. I have felt so much better now that I know she is moving and I can feel it. I had been looking forward to this for several weeks now
On Saturday Dave and I went and registered for our little Love Bug at Baby Depot and Babies R Us. It was a long day but a lot of fun. I got really tired but hung in there for the day. Dave really hung in there too. Dave was in charge of the scanner gun and I held the item. We made a really good team. It's crazy how much stuff we need. At the end of the day it felt good to have another thing crossed off on the things to do list.
