The things you discover on the internet, eh? This week I discovered that not only is my baby the size of an avocado (why do they always compare the size to fruit and vegetables?) but this is the week it will always start kicking! Except in my case, it happened two weeks ago... although I didn't actually realise until this week what it was.
In fact, I thought I was feeling a tad gassy - bubbles in the stomach, bloating, you know the score. Even my husband, who had his hand lay on my tummy, felt the bubbly sensation. Now, however, after reading various articles on the web, I realise this was my baby kicking. Not quite the momentous occasion I had thought it would be... and not as reassuring as I thought it would be either.
Now I'm paranoid if I haven't had the weird fluttering sensation and keep analysing every possible bubble - it is wind? is it a kick - to see if the little blighter is alright. This pregnancy lark really isn't easy. I've tried to be laidback but it would be so easy to step into the world of neurotic new mum.
Anyway, I'll be starting the new decade 4 and a half months pregnant, and as hubby is working, I'll be spending tonight - New Year's Eve - on my own. I really don't mind though - this time next year, we'll be a whole proper family and I think that's worth sacrificing just one night out for! Happy new year to you all.
