I have heard this adorable idea that some women are able to feel the subtle movements of their little one before the more obtuse kicking begins. These movements are referred to as the flutters, even the name is cute. I obviously have not felt them but am hoping I will. When the time comes I hope it will be a subtle rapid flutter and wholly recognizable.

I am 13.5 weeks along and had to postpone my 12-week appointment because of the flu. Then it was postponed again to make sure it would be at a time when my husband could go. I am trying not to but today I have that slight hint of paranoia with the what-ifs. Just like with my 8-week appointment I just want a healthy heartbeat today. Immediately I am looking forward to a healthy exam, eventually I am looking forward to some flutters.
