We have movement

I’m pretty sure that I felt the baby move the last couple of days. It felt like a fluttering just below my belly button. The first time I felt it I thought it was just my stomach rumbling, but it felt a little different. It didn’t last for a long time, but I think that was what it was. I only seem to feel it at when I’m laying down and just relaxing. I was beginning to get nervous that because I wasn’t feeling anything, even though every book I’ve read first-time moms typically feel the first movement any where between 16 and 22 weeks. That is a big time period when you are pregnant.

T- minus6 and half hours until our big ultrasound. I’m excited for this ultrasound because I haven’t had an ultrasound since I was 7 weeks and I would like to see what is going on in there. I’m also a little nervous, since we decided to not do any of the screenings offered during the first trimester, this will be the first time the doctor will see what is going on and if there is any wrong (mostly Downs). Neither Micah nor I have a family history of Down’s syndrome or spinal problems, so I’m sure everything will be fine. It is just the what ifs that get to me sometimes.

And before I go, I finally got up the nerve to do a belly bump picture. So I guess we now officially on Bump Watch 2008. The pictures below are from this week, , 17 weeks. What do you think? Do I look pregnant??
