It's Alive! Plus weeks 15-18

Since about 14 1/2 weeks I've thought that I was feeling the baby moving around in there. I wasn't positive and it wasn't consistent so I didn't know if it was just muscle spasms or something. Last night after watching a movie at a neighbors, we were walking home and I thought I felt the little tap up near my bellybutton and to the left. As I got in to bed about 10 minutes later, I felt it again, so I laid my hand on the spot and waited. About a minute later I definitely felt the little guy kick my hand! It was really fun, especially since it was the first real indication that our baby is alive in there. Hopefully we will get to hear the heartbeat at next week's appointment!

This is supposed to be 16 weeks, but we were in NC and no one had a working printer. I plan on editing it later so that it actually says how many weeks!

I am going to start averting my eyes when you post your belly pics. I mean, everyone knows that you start showing sooner once you're on your 2nd-plus kid, but seriously...
