The past few days I've been feeling thunking. Uterine thunking.
I am almost certain this is the critter. While there are still ambiguous flutters (Is that gas? Am I about to embarrass myself again by farting?), these thunks are much more clear. And they make me smile every time.
The thunking is also waaaay reassuring. Now, I know things can still go horribly wrong at any point. But it is also nice to know that the critter is at least healthy enough at this point to give me a whack here and there.
I will say though, that I'm oddly surprised at how low the thunking is. I think in my delusional thinking about what being pregnant would be like, I just imagined everything being higher in my belly. But really, that does not make any sense, now that I think about (and feel) it. My uterus is expanding, but it is still below (or just at) my belly button. Which means, I feel thunking down there, between my belly button and lady-parts hair line. Logical, right? Yeah, but for some odd reason, this surprised me. I guess I'd been stuffing the pillow under my shirt up too high! hahaha
I have an OB appointment a week from tomorrow, and we are 12 days out from the big u/s. It feels like it will never get here!

I told you it was the critter you were feeling! It is very reassuring that's for sure, and it will just get stronger and more frequent. But... the critter will go through inactive times after being quite active, so don't freak out when that happens, it's normal.
ReplyDeleteHa, that's actaully pretty funny because I think I would have assumed the same. So don't feel too bad.
ReplyDeleteHow exciting that you're starting to feel movement! =)
You have Thunking! That is super exciting and I can understand why it must be so reassuring (I have only nausea to comfort me, and I'm not sure it's that great a deal!)
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on the big "I'm actually pregnant" milestone!
yay for thunking!
ReplyDeleteooh, that's exciting! good luck next week!
ReplyDeleteJust realized that I haven't commented in a while because I didn't know you changed your background. I like it! I'm so glad your critter is thunking away in there. I can't wait until your u/s. I know you are chomping at the bit, too! :-) Keep thunkin' little critter...you are making mommy smile and that is always a good thing.
ReplyDeleteOh pie you made me laugh with your pillow stuffing comment. As an ignorant non-pregnant person I have to say that I would have made the same assumption. So much to learn!!!!
ReplyDeleteGlad the thunking is keeping your nerves at bay. xx
Thunking is a hilarious word for a miraculous thing!
