Feeling him move for the first time

So, I may not have blogged about it, but a co-worker did say to document every little milestone that I want to remember. In my day planner, on Thursday, June 11 I felt the baby's first movements. I was almost 19 weeks along at that point. I was sitting at my desk at work, and all of a sudden it was like a little precious poke from inside. It was so strange, it actually made me giggle out loud at work! From that point on, every time he moves, it still amazes me.

Now, at 30 weeks, he's a lot stronger, so it's not so pleasant anymore, but it's still beautiful. There is nothing like it. A friend asked me how it feels, but honestly, there are no words to describe it except for what it is. There is a little person inside of you just wiggling around.

That brings me to something else-music. I bring my iPod to work most days to help pass the time. I had the strange notion to place one of the buds on my belly. And BAM--it's almost like I startled him! But it was so neat to experience that reaction. I still let him listen from time to time and he just turns around and pokes when I do it. I'm hoping all this exposure will help him sleep through anything! We'll see about that.
