The first time I felt you move was in the middle of a discussion on tax compliance with my boss. It was the strangest feeling and at that time I had no idea what it was. It didn't feel like gas or hunger pains, it wasn't cramping from my insides shifting, it was a very distinguishable feeling on my right side, but I just couldn't place it. It went as fast as it came and I didn't think anything of it, so many things feel different during pregnancy. However, the feeling came again that same night as I was sitting at my desk studying, but this time it was on my left side. It startled me and then I started thinking...could this be my little one sending me a message in baby code. So, I did what every first time prego girl would do, I called a prego friend. She is much further along than I and immediately agreed that it was the baby and not some strange pain.
I've been in love with you before you were ever a "you"...but this made me feel even closer. It was like you wanted me to know you were here and a part of me. I wish I could bottle that feeling up and keep it forever...my first encounter of you! I will hold onto every little nudge...soon you will get bigger and stronger so Daddy will be able to feel you too...but for now, it's our little moment that I will always remember!
