The day finally came! I have been trying for a few weeks to really try and feel baby Langham move around, but I just wasn't having any luck. Until two night ago. I was lying in bed reading my new book and what-do-ya-know... I felt a little flutter. Then yesterday evening I felt an even more apparent movement. Unfortunately it's still a little too early for Jay to get to feel anything, so for now I just have to try to describe it to him. But for those of you who have had babies, how in the world do you describe it?! It's such an unbelievable feeling. A little flutter here, a little turning feeling there...whatever the case, I am so excited!
More exciting news: a friend of mine, Rebecca, found out yesterday that they are having a boy, which officially means that the Chinese Calendar was wrong. :) Congrats Rebecca and Bryan!
We are in the 5th month now! Time is flying by! Now for my weekly update... here's the 18 week info from "What to Expect When..."
At 5.5 inches long and about 5 ounces in weight (as much as that chicken breast you're having for dinner but a lot cuter), your baby is filling out nicely and getting large enough that you might even be feeling those twists, rolls, kicks, and punches he or she is perfecting. (yippy! I can feel that now!) Another set of skills your baby is mastering now is yawning and hiccuping (you might even begin to feel those hiccups soon). And your one-of-a-kind baby is truly one of a kind now, complete with unique fingerprints on his/her fingertips and toes.

AND I WAS THERE WHEN YOU FELT IT!!! Well, kind of. I was on the phone with you. I'm one of those hip 'long distance' aunts who bond with their nieces and/or nephews over phone conversations and cards in the mail. Pat the belly!
You felt (him/her)!!! YEAH! I am so happy for you! Isn't it the weirdest feeling! Now u will start feeling it more and more and it just gets better and better!! I am so, so happy! Yeah Sarah & Jay! And yes, this little BOY in my belly proves that the Chinese Calendar has no truth to it whatsoever! Its all chance and luck. You will have what u are meant to have, thats how I see it.
