This week was an exciting one because I started to be able to feel the baby kicking. It feels like tiny butterflies flying inside me – a very faint feeling, probably only recognizable because I’ve been pregnant twice before so I know what to expect. It’s a wonderful little reminder of the life inside me; sometimes I feel as if I have a secret nobody else knows. It’s also nice to feel the baby because these days my life is crazy busy and I often forget about the pregnancy entirely, so these tiny kicks are a fun reminder that indeed I am pregnant, and it’s nice to slow down and acknowledge it.
People are starting to really comment on my pregnancy – I must be truly ‘showing’ if it is this obvious. Even my son’s teachers at his nursery were commenting today about my pregnant belly (and also about how I will have three small children all quite close in age)! Yikes! But, it’s like I’ve said before, my husband and I are from big families so we’re used to the chaos!
