It MOVED!

Dear Diary - 6/25

I was talking on the phone with my friend, the man formally with the glasses, and suddenly I felt this very weird sensation in my stomach. A flutter? I wasn't sure... that's all that I could describe it.  But it startled me and I dropped the phone and my hand went to my stomach.  Then I felt it.

The baby moved! 

I could feel it moving in my belly.  This tiny little being was alive.  There is no way to describe that feeling.

I could not speak for several minutes and finally I realized that I had dropped the phone. I picked it up and listened to the frantic "Are you okay?" on the other end.  I was fine, I told him.  I just felt the baby move. 

So it wasn't just this alien object making my belly stretch after all.  It was a baby!
