FINALLY, IT HAPPENED (AND IS HAPPENING NOW)!
LAST NIGHT I WAS SITTING ON THE COUCH WATCHING TV, DAISY ON MY LAP/TUMMY, AND I FELT A FEW STRANGE "BLIPS" OR "BUBBLES" OR SOMETHING ODD. I THOUGHT...IS THIS GAS? AFTER ALL, I HAD JUST EATEN DINNER AND ALTHOUGH I WON'T GO INTO MUCH DETAIL ABOUT THIS EMBARRASSING SUBJECT, I WILL SAY THIS...GAS IS VERY PROBABLE FOR A PREGNANT CHICK. JUST TO BE CLEAR, I NEVER HAVE THE GAS, THE BABY DOES.
FOR ABOUT 30 MINUTES I MONITORED THE GASSY/BUBBLY FEELING. I NARROWED THE CAUSE DOWN AFTER HAVING NO ACTUAL GAS. I ASKED ADAM TO MUTE THE TV SO I COULD FOCUS ON MY TUMMY. BUT EVEN AFTER AN HOUR OF SUSPECTING IT WAS THE BABY MOVING, I DIDN'T WANT TO FREAK OUT AND ASSUME IT WAS. I THOUGHT, IF THIS IS THE BABY, I WILL SURELY FEEL IT AGAIN AND THEN I CAN HAVE SOME CONFIRMATION OF THIS WIGGLY WORM.
SO, TODAY AT CHURCH I WAS SITTING DOWN IN THE SERVICE AND LISTENING TO A LOUD, ROCKIN' SONG (BRIDGEPOINTE STYLE), WHEN.....POP, POP, POP! A LITTLE POPCORN MACHINE WAS GOING OFF INSIDE MY TUMMY! I KNEW IT WAS THE BABY THIS TIME! IT FEELS LIKE LITTLE POPS OR PUNCHES IN MY LOWER TUMMY AND IT'S KINDA WEIRD, BUT KINDA COOL AND SO SPECIAL. IT'S LIKE MY LITTLE SECRET WITH THE BABY BECAUSE NO ONE KNOWS WHAT'S GOING ON EXCEPT MOMMY & BABY. HOW AWESOME!
BABY EMMETT IS DOING SOMETHING SNEAKY IN MY TUMMY RIGHT NOW! I WONDER WHAT IN THE WORLD IS GOING ON IN THERE? IS THE BABY DOING FLIPS? PUNCHING ME? UNCOMFORTABLE? WIGGLY? HYPER (THIS IS PROBABLY IT)? JAMMING OUT? I THINK AFTER MY DAY OF MONITORING, I CAN CONCLUDE THAT OUR BABY IS VERY ACTIVE AND LOVES MUSIC OR LOUD THINGS. STAY TUNED! I'M SURE I WILL HAVE MORE BM STORIES TO SHARE!
P.S. I AM TYPING THIS IN ALL CAPS SO YOU CAN HOPEFULLY SENSE MY EXCITEMENT ABOUT THIS MILESTONE IN MY PREGNANCY!
P.S.S. I KNOW THAT "BM" REALLY STANDS FOR BOWEL MOVEMENT. HA, HA! I KNEW A FEW OF YOU MAY GIGGLE WITH THE INNUENDO WHILE SOME OF YOU MAY WONDER, "DOES SHE KNOW WHAT A BM IS?" ADAM ACTUALLY ASKED ME IF I KNEW WHAT "BM" STOOD FOR AS IF I WAS CLUELESS. HELLO!

That is so exciting!! I am praying for ya'll.
LOVE YOU!
This is SO exciting!! I got teary eyed just reading about this. :) Yay, for BMs! Ha ha.
yes... BMs :) Always good! and I love that you typed in all caps!
YAY FOR BM! :) It's such a cool feeling for sure! Even though I get irritated with Parker sometimes for moving so much during the night, I know a small part of me will miss it when he's out. It's a pretty incredible thing that only mommy and baby can experience together.
Wow! I never thought I'd be writing you to say I'm so excited for your first BM!
Adam knows BM.
So happy for you! Nothing like that feeling!
