So how would I describe the flutter feeling? First, it is a feeling that you get very low in your abdomen. Well below your belly button just around your pelvic bone. That was my first indication that it wasn’t gas that you would normally feel much higher in your stomach. The sensation comes in waves. It is similar to that tingling feeling that you get when you kiss someone you like for the first time or when you are about to go down a roller coaster. That tingling turns into a series of subtle movement that runs across very quickly. I imagine it like the bubbles that you see floating up in a champagne flute. They are tiny and fast. Some people describe it as a fish swimming around in the bag when you pick it up from a pet store. I wouldn’t say it feels like that. But I could say it feels a little bit like when you throw your line in the water and a fish is nibbling on your bait but hasn’t actually hooked on yet. No matter how you would describe it – popcorn popping, butterflies, or goldfish – it is an experience that you don’t understand until you have it.
Now that I do, I don’t want it to go away. It gives me a connection to BB that I haven’t had yet. I can’t wait until it turns into actual kicks so that Logan can experience this too. I am amazing by him on a daily basis. Each step that we have taken as a couple has brought us closer. I keep thinking, there is no way I can love this man more than I do right now. But when he started kissing and talking to my belly and reading the baby books, he took it to a whole new level. The idea of him being a father gives me a new love and respect for him that I didn’t have before and it absolutely melts my heart. This baby is going to be here before we know it and I really need to do everything I can to take all of this in.
