This past Thursday, May 27, I felt baby move for the first official time! {I thought I had felt baby at about week 14 and once again at around week 16 but figured since the spacing was so far out that it was just gas or something. ha!}
Charles and I were watching TV this evening when I suddenly sat up straight due to this new feeling and blurted to Charles that I just felt baby move! The look on his face, priceless! He was so excited and said it makes it seem much more real for me to say I feel baby physically other than only feeling baby with the throwing up still happening. :-) Oh I can't wait for the day that he can feel baby in my tummy too!
I have felt baby at least once a day since and love the reassurance that baby is doing a okay in there! The second day, it felt like baby did a summer sault in my tummy but it was up to down instead of down to up, if that makes sense. Oh how I love love love love love being able to feel baby move and the reassurance that gives {so maybe nausea will go away now that I have a new reassurance??? hahaha!}
Now if only I could get the dream I had this past weekend that our baby was a hermaphrodite out of my head, all would be good... It's been severe enough that I may fall prey to finding out what we're having just to have the reassurance that all is good with baby!

It is the most amazing experience! The movement is so reassuring, I know. It made it seem all the more REAL for me. Wait until you and Charles can lie down together, stare down at your big bump, and WATCH your tummy move!! So many more exciting things ahead -- this is only the beginning :)
I agree with Heather.. Getting to watch your belly move will be fun too! I always got a kick (no pun intended) out of drinking some juice, lying on my back and watching my belly roll.
Enjoy this... it's one of the things I miss about being pregnant!!
Re: the dream - pregnancy dreams are notoriously weird and vivid. Don't worry at all about it, and don't let it sway you from your Team Green decision if you really want the surprise at birth.
As far as the dream, my sis kept having a dream where she delivered a cat. I am happy to report there were no wiskers and my nephew is absolutely gorgeous and ALL boy...just thought that might help :O)
