We Have Movement!!!

Well, I finally did it. I finally felt the baby move. Patience isn't exactly my forte and for a while now Carrie has claimed to be feeling the baby move. I however have never caught her or the baby at the right time to successfully feel any movement.

What am I feeling for? What will it feel like? All very confusing at times but never resulting in me feeling any movement which is strange because Carrie feels it so often.

Well the other night that all changed and my first reaction was...whoa...that's strange. At first I wasn't sure if it was Carrie hiccuping or breathing or what but she insisted it was the baby. Then the movement picked up a little and I was reminded of the Alien movies I watches as a child. Yes the the classic films where Sigourney Weaver battles the slimy aliens that pop out of peoples stomachs.

Fortunately I don't think Carrie is housing an alien and the experience of feeling the dancing baby breaking down was both very strange and at the same time exciting.

Now next week we go in for the extensive ultrasound and I guess that's when I'll get to see what this baby looks like and what I felt but for the moment I'm left with the simple fact that something is moving in there and it's a pretty amazing thing.
