I felt something

WOW!!! On the Saturday after Thanksgiving when I woke up, I felt a strange tingle - it was almost like butterflies fluttering around on my mid-left side.. Right away I wondered if it was the baby, but wasn't sure. Then it went away. On Sunday I felt it again when Will and I were walking through Target. Every few days last week I could feel that same feeling. Mostly on my left side and then it moved. I felt it right in the middle....so I KNOW it was the baby. The feeling was so slight I almost missed it. In the OB world, this feeling is called quickening.

I haven't felt it in a few days, but I have an appointment with the doctor tomorrow - my 5 month appointment. Will and I will get to hear the heartbeat again. It's hard to believe that I'm already 5 months pregnant. In 2 weeks we'll be 1/2 way there.

Ok Mike. I had an appointment with the doc today and the heartbeat is 153 beats per minute. Does this change your prediction?
