POPCORN
This afternoon (about 2:30 to be exact) I was sitting on my desk. I know what you're thinking....what kind of teacher sits on her desk??? :) Well, this one does! So there I was sitting on my desk, sort of hunched over, as my students were watching something on the computer I'd projected on the screen for them. I felt this little weird feeling and didn't give it much thought and then all of the sudden it was like a light bulb went off! It was my baby!!! It felt like little random popcorn kernels popping ever so softly. It only lasted about a minute and once I got up and began to move the feeling was gone and I haven't felt anything since. I was kind of paranoid that I was just imagining things. Just this morning I had been venting to Mat, my friends at work, my facebook page, etc. etc. that I was dying to feel this baby move. Could it just be wishful thinking? But as I was sitting there enjoying that wonderful experience there was no doubt in my mind (like there has been over the last week or so) and I felt like I knew exactly what this unique, amazing feeling was! I love him/her even more now.

I'm so happy for you! When you first begin to feel movement it will be when you're sitting! When up and about, you're rocking her to sleep! So sit! :) It's so wonderful, and scary when you think you've gone too long without feeling anything! I remember with Abbey being upset one morning, I was doing my final internship, and I couldn't remember feeling anything for awhile. I had to go into the office and get some sugar in me hoping to feel something, trying to relax and not think the worst! Sure enough when I was laughing and talking- not thinking about it- it happened she went crazy in there! So keep that in mind!!!! So happy for this next step, it makes me sad that I will never feel it again! KW
Awesome stuff Kel!

Keli - the first time you feel your little one move it is so amazing and weird at the same time. It is such a blessing to know that there is a little bundle of joy in there kicking and moving around.
Congratulations!

Wait until you are lying in bed ... that is when I noticed it the most. You might find yourself going to bed early to watch tv just to feel the baby. You are lucky to feel it so soon, I couldn't be sure until around 22 weeks if not long after. Soon it will to not stop and that is exciting too! Sounds like all is going well. Can't wait to find out the gender and of course to see you next month!
Hugs- Jessica.... Aunt Jessica!!!!
Wow, baby keyes moved momma on MY birthday! Best gift of all to read such a fun post! And yes, that is the baby and just wait, the fun is just beginning. It is constant entertainment except when he/she sleeps (which will not be when you sleep, of course). And it won't be long before daddy can feel it, too. Life...it is just the best thing ever!

I am thrilled beyond words! It is just so, so awesome to feel that life inside of you. I remember it like yesterday with you and Jeff...and now here my daughter is experiencing this wonderful event. The circle of Life...it makes me cry.
Love from Mom and Grandma :)
Feeling the little bun move is a wonderful sensation, mind blowing and heart expanding. Enjoy.
