I'm really pretty sure I felt baby kick me! I was right, it really is a very hard thing to describe, kind of like bubbles, and kind of like...well...someone inside you giving you a gentle poke. But it's very exciting...unless of course it is just my over active imagination and I'm feeling no such thing...but I'm pretty sure it's real...maybe...hopefully?
I really am enjoying my fetal heart monitor, I've given up trying to record baby, technology just doesn't seem to want to play, I can hear baby fine, but my laptop just isn't sensitive enough to pick up the sound. But I'm pretty sure I've heard as well as felt baby kicking me, it sounds kind of like the noise of someone flicking a water balloon. I'm being good and only listening for baby's heart beat once every other day, but the reassurance and relief that it gives me is immeasurably nice. It can take a bit of searching, but once you find it, it's unmistakable, and makes me grin for hours. Once baby was lying in a position where I could hear my own heart beat and babies heart beat next to each other, it's amazing how much of a difference there is. Babies rapid pit-a-pat and my thud-thud-thud...I'm so very happy. I just can't wait till baby is here with us.
only 17 days till we've got the next scan (it's on the 19th) which will look for any problems baby might have, and we can find out babies sex...nerve racking and exciting at the same time.
