It has officially begun; I was lying in bed on the 11th of May when at 11:15 I felt this weird feeling in my lower left side. At first I had no idea what it was. I thought it was just a stretching pain again so I did not think much of it since it only happened once. Well the next day of the 12th I was sitting on my couch watching t.v. around 3:30 pm and I felt is again, this time a little harder and three times in a row. Again though I was not sure what it was so I did not make a big deal about it. On the 13th I was feeling super sick, that I had called the doctor’s office for an unscheduled appointment. At this appointment I was being explained that a lot of the things I am going though unfortunately are normal in some pregnancies. Just to make me feel better though, the Dr said we could look at our little one to see that he is ok. I was so excited since my last experience was not with the happiest people. During the ultrasound on the 13th the Dr placed the paddle on my stomach, at which point you could see the baby kick up his feet and the paddle move. I now knew that what I had been feeling was his kicks. It was so amazing though because Ben actually got to see the baby kick even if he can not feel it yet. He is such a little acrobat. Since then it has been non-stop kicking. The other night I was watching Dancing with the Stars and it was like he was kicking to the musical beats, it was pretty amazing. I feel bad that Ben is not able to experience these moments with me but the Dr said it should only be just a few more weeks until he and everyone else will be able too. I can’t wait to share it with everyone.
