I felt a kick!!!

Unbelievable! I was sitting on the couch today working as usual and all of a sudden I felt a kick! I didn't know what to think at first - I just felt a gentle little puck. I have been waiting to feel a little kick now for the last week cause woman can sometimes feel it as early as 16 weeks - so at first, I thought I was just imagining it and went back to work. Then I was on a conference call about 30 minutes later and I felt it again - a gentle little punch in my lower abdomen. Then I felt it 2 more times throughout the next hour. So I am convinced that the little baby is starting to kick and make it presence known to the world! I haven't felt anything since, so he/she is probably sleeping - probably enjoying the afternoon snack of chocolate candies I had :) I don't think Ryan will be able to feel the kick yet as it is too gentle - but hopefully in the next couple of weeks it will get a little stronger. It is a strange and unbelievable sensation - one that I am sure I will grow to love over the next few months (as long as he/she doesn't kick too hard!!)

Well the ultrasound is on Monday and so I am so excited to see the baby - finally! We are able to bring in a VHS tape so that they can record it which will be great - I will have to find a VHS (does anyone use these anymore? - luckily my parents still have one!) so I can show Ryan the little baby that evening. Monday will be the big decision - should we decide to know the sex of the baby? From looking at the poll, it is a very tight decision - although slightly favored in not finding out the sex. I guess it will be a game time decision as I am still complete undecided!!

Talk to you all later!

I felt both boys early- I think it just depends on your body. You should find out- definitely :)
