Tiny bubbles

My first really exciting pregnancy moment occurred on Saturday morning, while trying to fall back to sleep - I felt the baby!!! It was just like I'd read/heard about - little bubbles or butterfly wings and if I hadn't known what to be looking for, I'd have completely missed it. It was SO cool!! I actually tried giggling my stomach around to make it happen again but no such luck. I know it'll happen again so I'll just have to try and be patient (I'm so bad about that!) and wait and see what happens next.

I had a couple of crazy dreams the other day too. I dreamt that I went in for an ultrasound to determine the sex of the baby and he/she would NOT cooperate. Then they gave me the baby and I kept telling them to put it back, it wasn't done cooking yet. And the baby still wouldn't cooperate and let me know what it is. I'm clearly not too anxious!

And lastly, I was watching the NBC Evening News last night and they were doing a segment on this years college graduates. It was a montage of graduates, speakers and graduation-related images - nothing really all that special. And wouldn't you know, I cried for most of it. I'm a MESS.

honey, i was an emotional mess for no reason when i was pregnant too! more for the first than the second...commercials, shows - a little emotional or sentimental and the waterworks would happen. i started watching the baby shows on discovery and mike would find me all weepy. also any shows (whether it was CSI or House or whatever) that had something tragic that happened to a baby/child and/or husband would send me scrabbling for tissues. :o) mikey mostly just laughed at me.

i am SO excited for you - the first kicks are just so awe-inducing and truly a confirmation that there is something growing inside you. it's usually the the constant kicks to the ribs later on that you'll say, "okay, enough little one!"
