We felt the baby move! I'd felt some "baby flutterings" for a few weeks but nothing very significant. It was easy to think anything I felt was just my stomach. But about a week ago I felt a little thing poke up on my stomach and stay there for a few seconds before it went away and I knew it was the baby. The next night the baby went crazy moving and jabbing all over the place. It was fun for Brandon to feel the baby for the first time stretching his limbs as they poked out here and there.
Now I feel the baby move around more often... usually in the morning or at night when I'm lying down. It's really fun to feel him move around. I know it might not be so fun when he's kicking me in the ribs but until then I love feeling him move around. At 22 weeks he's about a foot long and weighs about a pound. I get my 2nd ultrasound next week and I can't wait!
I've been lucky enough to be able to wear regular non-maternity pants until now but the past couple days they've felt a little tight. I might try the rubber band trick to give me that extra inch of room and see if that will work for awhile because I haven't found any maternity pants that I like.I made a nursing cover for a friend who just had a baby and it turned out pretty cute. I plan to make more for myself and my pregnant friends.

yeah! That's so exciting! I'm so happy for you guys
isn't it crazy how you're not sure if it's the baby, and then all-of-a-sudden, you're absolutely sure that there is a tiny person moving inside of you? i hope things are still going well!
