tap.a.roo

because it's the coolest feeling ever...

i had to share

that i have been feeling so much movement since my 16 week post.

all of the sudden, my bump grew ten fold

and i started to feel more frequent taps (aka quickening)

the coolest thing

it's always when i'm very still

typically when i'm lay with my feet up but my back propped

but today i felt it sitting in my chair at work

just a little "hello" to remind me everything's ok

usually it's on the right but today it was on the left

and, last night, one motion was so big that it actually startled me

so neat!

my doctor told me i would feel it somewhere around 19 weeks

but it also depended on the location of my placenta

she may have told me 19 weeks so i didn't fret if i wasn't feeling anything

understandable.  because i would.

but i'm definitely feeling things

which, i guess, means i have a more posterior placenta

yay for posterior placentas

isn't the body pretty neat-o?

i think so

it's so hard to believe a living thing is right down there

moving away

love it.

for visual people.  16 week fetus (anterior placenta)
