overboard's all a flutter

The other day, Overboard felt a "flutter." More directly, she felt Dr. Rosenberg squirming around in her belly. The baby books tell you that it should feel like the flutter of a butterfly. Overboard was starting to mope (just a little) that she hadn't felt anything yet, when she suddenly sent me an IM in the middle of the day: "Flutter! I felt a flutter!"

At first, she wasn't sure what she had felt. But when she felt the same sensation, but in a slightly different spot, she knew. After drinking a Sprite, she said that the flutter became more pronounced. Yes, a wonderful moment in any parent's life: My baby's first sugar rush.

We may invoke the sugar strategy next week when we go in for the ultrasound...
