books and websites describe the "quickening" (the baby's first movements in the womb that the mother feels) as something like having a butterfly fluttering in your belly. i first felt it around march before we left for morocco. i was not consciously anticipating it, but at the same time, i knew it was supposed to happen around then.
truth be told, i wasn't sure if it was just the stuff in my intestines moving around, like when you have gas or you eat something you're not used to. seriously. except it was the baby moving. i'm not the type to jump for joy with such things though. yeah, corny mother to be me. but that is how i am.
sometimes it gets hiccups, which the doctor says is normal. now IT moves, nudges and bumps me along from inside, and it is a strange funny feeling. hey, IT seems to say to remind me, i AM in here.
i know. see you in august.
