It's Human

I am happy to report

that according to the images

on the world wide web,

at 16 weeks our child within is 

looking more and more human.

Fewf!

It's eyes and ears

are in their positions.

His legs are longer than his arms,

and her head has evened out

a bit in proportion to her body.

He is making facial expressions now,

frowning and smiling.

She can make fists and do somersaults.

Apparently between 15 and 20 weeks 

you can begin to feel the baby moving.

They say the movements will be subtle,

and you may question if its real.

Well, I am apprehensive to report,

but I think I did last night.

99% sure.

It is unlike any feeling I've had before,

it felt very similar to 

popcorn popping inside of me.

Or a fluttering feeling,

like someone released butterflies.

Very low, about 4 inches below my belly button.

It would come and go for about 10 minutes.

What do you think, ladies?

Do you remember what you felt

the first few times you could feel something inside of you?

It is rather "alien",

and I really hope that is it.

{Be careful, you may burst my bubble.}

This morning in the forums I read

for August due dates,

one mom-to-be posted an internet quiz.

It is a bunch of old wives tales that you answer to.

For example, is your hair growing faster...

Are your nails longer and stronger...

Are you carrying high or carring low...

Then they calculate your answer and 

give you the % chance of the gender they think it will be.

I got 60% chance its a girl.

That isn't much higher then 50%,

so I am not holding my breath.

What do you guys think?

Sugar and Spice and Everything Nice?

Or Snakes and Snails and Puppy Dog Tails?
