It moves! Last weekend Phil and I started the search for strollers and car seats. As I sat in the car afterward feeling completely overwhelmed all of a sudden I felt the tiniest little push in my stomach. I gasped not believing that I was actually able to feel the baby. Then, it moved again! My eyes teared up in joy and promptly called Phil who had run into the grocery store. Now he keeps trying to feel the baby and we think he has felt a few flutters. We can't wait for him to really be able to feel it move.
Since then I have felt the baby daily. It moved around after I had hot chocolate one morning this week. It moved a TON after I had some cheese and crackers as a snack today. It even moved around while we were at a Legwarmers (AMAZING 80's cover band) concert! Clearly it already has fantastic musical taste since it decided to dance around to Journey.
Only 2 more weeks until we find out the sex of the baby! I think everything will become a lot more real after we can start calling it a he or she instead of an it.
Overall I am feeling great! I've had some lower back pain and abdominal pain which is completely normal. I'm just trying to stay active and healthy!
Below are some links to info about the baby's development at 18 weeks from three of the pregnancy websites I frequent.
