There was movement at the station...
Jun. 12th, 2010 08:29 amHe's moving!!!
At the moment, I can only feel it if I lie down and just breathe very quietly with my fingers over my stomach, but it's *definitely* Gilgamesh getting down with his funky self in there. I have to resist the urge to keep poking him to try to keep waking him up and make him do it some more, so I can lie there all day feeling it. :)
Women seem to have a lot of trouble describing the sensation. I've had people say it's like a bubble, or butterflies in your stomach, and my sister said it was like having a goldfish in a bag and feeling the fish flick past through the plastic. My mother in law couldn't come up with any description at all.
I think it feels like a muscle tic in your eye or something, although obviously this is in my abdomen. It's just like that involuntary muscle movement that you don't realise you've made until you feel a tiny twitch.
Hmmm. I thought it would suddenly feel a whole lot more real when I felt him moving, but it still feels a bit like a weird dream that's just got a few specifics out of place, or a story I'm telling, or something like that. Maybe it'll feel more real when his movements interrupt me in the middle of doing other things rather than needing to practically meditate to feel him.
In other news, you'll likely have piccies of The Bulge looking very impressive in a week or so. My sister-in-law's wedding is next Saturday and I've finally got around to altering my MOH dress to fit both Gil and I at the same time. If I hadn't known the dresses were bought before we'd even thought of getting pregnant, I would have thought they'd been specifically designed to show off The Bulge to its best advantage. Yay, looking pregnant, rather than just waistless!
