21 weeks

The first time I felt you kick:
[Saturday 10 December] It was in the deep dark hours of the morning and I was kinda awake, which is the norm these days. Sleepless nights. Anyway, I was just lying there on my side trying to will myself back to sleep. It was quiet and still... and suddenly I felt this little sensation in my tum. I wondered for a while if it was gas or a tummy rumble but I think it was the baby.

It felt like:
Blowing bubbles through a straw in a big glass of water. You know, bubble bubble blub blub blub. But it was a very slight sensation not violent or strong. Anyway, I thought it quite interesting but I didn't feel super excited, not enough to wake D and certainly not enough to not go back to sleep. So that's what I did, I went back to sleep.

I discussed this movement with P and she said her sensation is like a snake crawling under sand. Hmmm.

I told D on sat night and he was like "How come you didn't tell me sooner?" I dunno.

At this month's prenatal visit:
We found out that MOPI IS A GIRL!!!!!! We did the scan in Singapore as we were there for the Christmas break.

WHEE!!!!!!!!!

Apparantly, if you see three lines it's a girl and if you see one beeeg one, it's a boy. Go figure. We did a super dooper scan and everything is "normal" and "good" and positive - oh, except for a low lying placenta.
