I'm pretty sure I've felt the little critter move a few times now. It's much earlier than I felt Alexander, but then again, now I actually know what it feels like when a baby is moving in there so I know what I'm "looking" for.
I've felt this same sensation a few times now, most often after eating or drinking a lot of water, and it's just too low down to be a digestion issue (see that, that's me trying to be tactful and spare you discussions of, well, other things).
According to all the baby development sites and newsletters, s/he is indeed moving around a lot and can even make some sounds at this point, so it's not impossible that I might feel a particularly energetic bouncing session. If it takes after Alexander, it's just starting as it means to continue I guess!
Also, I got a very welcome call from the lab yesterday, and all numbers are back from my bloodwork and the risk of Downs is low enough that the doctor/nurse/person told me there is no risk at all. Which is always rather nice to hear, even though I wasn't concerned before. Everything looks good.
I'm drinking a lot of water and that is helping a bit with my nausea, though I can't say I'm feeling great. Evenings in particular seem to suck a bit but I keep hoping that it will pass with a bit more time.
Alexander occasionally checks back with me to be sure the baby is still in there: "Baby there?" (points to my stomach) "Aia baby?" (cuddling/rocking motion). "Yes" I tell him, "The baby is in there, and yes, you can rock it and snuggle it all you want when it comes out." I can't for the life of me tell how much of all this he actually comprehends but he does keep coming back to the idea of babies in general and the fact that I have one in me and he and Goran do not. So something is getting processed. So long as he doesn't ask how it got in there, we're all good!
