I felt my baby kick me! Over the last 3 week sor so I've felt the "fluttering" feeling of the baby, and even though I was waiting for it to happen, and when it happened it was incredible. Well this one today was completely not what I expected. I figured I'd start to feel real kicks in a month or so, once the baby was bigger than 5 inches long. But nope, while I was sitting at my desk typing out an email to the other trainers and talking to one of them on IM, I felt a very distinct "jab"! Then another, and then another! 3 total at first and I freaked out! I was so excited! I stopped mid-sentence to what I was typing to my friend Lance (the other trainer) and said "my baby just kicked me!" Right after that it got me a few more times! I still don't think it would have been strong enough to feel from "the outside" if you will, but they were strong little jabs or kicks or whatever, and I've never felt anything even close to that before now! Holy cow I'm on such a happy high right now from it! I immediately messaged Jon (working from another building) to tell him and then I called my Mom to tell her. Of course my dad answered and asked "How's Baby Girl doing?" (remember he's convinced it's a girl) and I said that it kicked me. He was excited, but passed the phone immediately to my mom and just told her to listen to me! Ha ha, it was cute.
Anyway, I know that pretty much all of my friends are already mom's (at least the ones who read this blog) and this is all old news for you guys, but man that was exciting for me! I almost cried right here at my desk! But instead I had to finish my emails and put in some service tickets to get crap fixed, then I decided that I should put this in my blog now while I'm still excited about it. :)
Okay, so that was my news. In other news, I find out what I'm having in 2 weeks (eek!) I'll probably schedule the appointment tomorrow after my regular appointment. And something that is very exciting, I found out this morning that my friend Chelsea (Hardman) Smith just had her little girl! I think she had her yesterday, but little baby Serena (I looked on your Mom's blog for her name!) was 5lb 5oz and 18 1/2 inches long and delivered by c-section. Congrats Chels! I can't wait to see her!

Congrats! I'm so excited for you! Unlike what you said...I am not a mother yet and I would have reacted the same way as you did! I'm tearing up just thinking about it! I'm happy for you! Enjoy every moment of it.
Yeah!! it's so much more fun when you can actually feel 'it'!! It makes it seem more real now doesn't it?? But just wait...soon you'll be tellin' the kid to hold still for just one minute!!! =) It is very exciting though! I can't wait till the baby has hiccups for the first time...that's an interesting feeling too. Actually, its a bit annoying...but fun! Congrats!
Mindy, this is very well written. I feel all excited right now! haha. like-- i feel like squealing with you and poking at her. (i'm convinced she is a girl too)
Yay! Isn't that one of the most amazing feelings in the world?! And just so you know, for some of us it never gets less exciting, even when it's not your first! :o) Enjoy those kicks!
that is so exciting, good for you mindy! i can't wait to hear if you're having a boy or a girl!
we need to go see chelsea sometime soon!
When I first felt Alix kicking me I was super excited too! It is always fun and exciting when your baby kicks! Wait til you're lying in bed and your whole belly is moving kuz your baby can't hold still. That always held Jeremy and I in a trance, it was one of our favorite things to do at night, just watch our little wiggle worm move all over the place!
I am SO excited for you! And you know what...it just gets better! It's fun when you can SEE them move and feel it from the outside. I am SUPER excited to find out if you're having a girl or a boy! I'm completely preoccupied with it actually. Either way, I hope they are born with your beautiful curly hair!
That is so much fun!!! Congrats! I can't wait to find out what you're having! I hope it's a girl so Makenzi has her AND Allie to play with! :D
I had the same kind of situation for Dante, although I was much further along, the first time I felt him kick or move, it was HARD jabs and a bunch of times within 10-20 mins. So fun!! :D
Congratulations Mindy! Hey, believe me, it's just as exciting on the 5th child as it is on the first... and it's equally exciting for Grandma's - even on thier 8th grandchild!
