The post where I discuss the alien in my belly

I had many people tell me what it would feel like when I finally felt Cain move....


"It feels like bubbles popping."
"It feels like gas but you never fart."
"It feels like when you're in a pool and you wave your hand close to your stomach and the current pushes on your skin....but on the inside."
"It feels like when you drive over a bump in the road and your stomach lifts."

That all may be true and accurate descriptions but I would like to add one to the list....

"It feels like you just ate a taco. A delicious taco...nice and spicy...perfect amount of grease. You obliterate the taco and relax on the couch. But then something happens in the intestinal area. The taco has come to life and wants out and the preferable route for the taco's exit is through your belly button.... Welcome to pregnancy...you have an alien in your belly that loves tacos."

I felt Cain move around 20w1d pregnant. I felt him move on the outside (and so did Adam) at 21w2d. I caught him on video thumping his way around my uterus at 21w4d.... This is also the approximate timeline that I went from food baby bump to actual baby bump status....

 

I still don't quite "feel" pregnant...but I think I will soon... I have a banana sized baby that likes to sit on my bladder soooooooo......
