Back to topic. Lovebug likes fish tacos.
Sunday afternoon (at 16 weeks, 4 days), we were at Kristen and Mark's place, getting lunch before going to the race track, and Josh got me fish tacos. They were good, but let me be honest, they were no La Paz (Baja) fish tacos. However, they were pretty good. After lunch I just sat back on the couch and watched golf on TV (well, apparently we HAD to).
The guys (who were the ones that really HAD to watch it, not me!) were outside in the balcony, and I was sitting there relaxing, I felt something that didn't feel like anything else I've left before. "Wow. Was that...? No, no way.. can't be", I thought to myself. And I waited. And there it was again. WOW! Now, that was more like it!
I told Josh I thought I'd felt Lovebug move, and Caroline said "did it feel like a 'blup. blup.'?" Josh got this "what?" expression on his face, but I understood. Don't ask me why, but that's exactly the right way to describe it, like a blup.blup.
It surprised me because I was expecting to feel movement around my belly button area, but this was about 2 inches below my belly button. But it felt exactly the way I expected it to feel. Let's see if I can explain better. Put one of your arms in front of you, just so you can see it. With your opposite hand, bend your fingers and "stick" your bent index finger out. Get your index finger close to your arm, and brush it from left to right on it. Wait a second, and brush it from right to left. That's what it felt like (if I explained correctly, that is).
Since then I've been feeling movement, thought not quite as strong, regularly. That first one was strong and clear as water. Since then, Lovebug has gotten just as excited about fillet mignon, and popcorn!
It's still early for Josh to feel it from the outside, but I'll make sure he posts his impressions personally when it happens!!
Ok, enough updating. I must have lunch!
