My little goldfish

We got home from our trip to Maryland last night, and were pretty exhausted. We only had about 4 hours of sleep the night before due to an early flight. I tried to nap and couldn't so I went and took a bath (one of my favorite things to do now during this pregnancy)! If Mark is home, he will come in the bathroom and talk with me, I get lonely :) I was just laying there not moving, and felt something on my lower stomach. I thought something was floating around the water tickling me, and then it occurred to me that, IT COULD BE THE BABY! Sure enough, I lifted myself out of the water and it was still tickling me! It felt like a gold fish swimming around. It was amazing, and yet very very strange! It kept laughing and shrieking! It's such an odd, yet amazing feeling. Especially since the  baby is the size of an avocado  yet the movement is so delicate! I know soon enough he/she will be jabbing me awake in the night and moving non stop! My little fishy started moving again this morning, which is exciting since I thought maybe it would be awhile before I felt it again. It's so light, I have to lay still to feel it. Now I keep envisioning my uterus as a fishbowl, and a gold fish swimming around in there! We have our 16 week appointment next week, and are going to TRY to get the DR to tell us the gender early, exciting! :)
