OMG! Was that a flutter?

That is how I can describe it best – a flutter! I experienced it the first time last evening. I never thought I would have the pleasure of it so soon. I am in my 20th week and I was sure I would have to wait a few more weeks to really feel the sweet little thing move. Unfortunately I felt my first flutter when I was upset. It was almost as if the baby wanted to nudge me and say “get over it”. It happened more than once and it felt awesome. It was totally surreal. However, I still can’t feel it externally. He tried to feel it on my tummy, but I think it’s a bit early for that.

My nausea has finally gone down and I actually find a few things edible. I craved for a chocolate ice cream for the first time this week. So I guess the exciting non-nauseous part of pregnancy is here! We go in for our scan tomorrow. Ideally this would be the right time for us to find out if the little thing is a girl or a boy. Unfortunately, it can’t be done in India :-( I would have loved to know so that I could paint the nursery accordingly. And now would be the perfect time since we are in the process of selecting paint for our house and the rooms. I have decided to go in for shades of orange and yellow.

Hopefully I get back to blogging more often and sometimes about stuff other than pregnancy.
