I saw the baby move today!

This afternoon, at work, she kicked a spot about 4 inches to the left of my navel, and slightly below. Three times in a row! I could see them, just looking at my belly. I think I actually saw it in my peripheral vision just before I really looked, and that’s what made me look down.

And this evening, while I was resting and hoping that Noah was not going to get up again, she gave a few more thwacks to a spot about an inch closer to my navel.

How much fun is that? I think watching the baby move inside my belly is my favorite thing about being pregnant.

No, it doesn’t make me think about the movie Aliens. Thanks for asking.

In other news, I’ve been doing really well on the fruit & veg front. Yesterday, I had about 2 cups of fresh fruit salad for lunch, and a bunch of roasted carrots & cauliflower for dinner.

Today I had another cup of the carrots & cauliflower, some amazing bread with dried cranberries, walnuts, and orange zest. I’ll probably have an apple or a banana before bed.
