First Flutter

Why is it that dreams are so much more bizarre while you're pregnant??  Turns out all of the pregnancy "cliches" are true.  Who knew?

Last night I was in the midst of one of my usual crazy dreams, when all of sudden the dream changed to me beginning contractions in a parking lot.  In the dream, I was very aware that it's way too early to have contractions, and somewhere in my subconscious I knew that I was feeling something new and foreign in my belly.  I woke up almost immediately to feel the first flutter -- a perfect little *tap tap tap* on my left side.  This, of course, happened at 4:30 in the morning, and I was so excited that I spent the next hour and half hoping it would happen again.  It didn't.

We had a doctor's appointment last Wednesday and she asked me if I'd felt anything yet.  When I told her I didn't think so, but I wasn't really sure what I was expecting to feel, she told me "I'd know."  Turns out, she's right.  It was awesome, I just wish that I'd been more awake.

The big ultrasound is 2 weeks from today!!
