Feeling the baby move is the weirdest feeling. The doctors have told me that it feels like butterflies or gas bubbles. I must have passed that stage right away as it feels more like churning but not in a bad way. It’s just a very strange feeling.
According to my D-day calendar on my Blackjack phone, today is D-91 for the baby’s due date (i.e., only 91 days until my due date). I’m pretty freaked out. Before, it was kind of exciting doing the planning for the nursery, registering for baby stuff. Now the reality of childbirth and the responsibility is setting in. I suppose I should be thankful that I have about nine months to prepare instead of some shorter gestational period that God gave animals or longer like an elephant (22 months? Forget it!)
People who have touched my pregnant belly without permission:

Oh, you are so beautiful. Your face is just glowing. I wish I was there to share with you during this time. I miss you!!!!!!! Your little belly is so cute. I can proudly say that I am one of the 6 friends who touched your belly without asking.
Love ya.
How cute are you?!? (unsure of punctuation in such a statement)
You look radiant.
