Kicks For Kicks

I could feel the baby's movement now. My doctor said that it might be a little early to tell but I told her that I could feel something like muscle spasms or twitches in that region below my naval. She was startled and said that usually first time mommies don't feel anything yet b/c they pass up these movements as though they were hunger pangs, a bubble bursting, or what I thought I felt -- muscle spasms/twitches. It's so cool! I hope that David would be able to catch our baby kicking when I feel him/her. Usually David falls flat on the floor, pretending that the baby kicked so hard through my skin. Funny guy. I've actually have been feeling these movements for at least two weeks but haven't recorded it yet.

Other things I've noticed for a while that I haven't recorded was a dark line forming down the middle of my abdomen. I was so excited to even see a line back when I noticed it. I think they call it "Linea Negra" -- black line. Sometimes I like being pregnant. Other times its a little rough and tough. The rougher part of being pregnant is feeling like a second class citizen in the workplace b/c I want to do so much more for the company but they want to keep me from having too many responsibilities -- as if they don't trust me =(. I hope I'll stil have a work life when the baby is born.
