I feel little taps and twitches every now and then. Not strong but enough for me to notice it. I always wonder if it's my little baby saying hello or just gas. Is it possible for me to be feeling it this early with it being my first pregnancy?

Trust me I was in your shoes. Its just the baby kicking sometimes they kick to hard and cause stiches and twitches.

Wait until the baby jumps up and down on your bladder or squeezes it with its little hands!! You will know where every bathroom within 20 miles is.

Lol I bet. I'm just not sure if I am feeling the baby move or if I am just imagining it. I heard quickening starts around this time and seeing how it's my first pregnancy I don't know what I am suppose to be feeling!

It felt like I had a butterfly down inside there.

That's what I feel too. It feels like little flutters or something. I hope it's the baby :)

Have you eaten any caterpillars lately? Chocolate-covered ones? (Caterpillars turn into butterflies.)

Then we will decide it's Baby making his presence known to you and is saying, "There's more fun to come before this is over."
