Is it a flutter in you belly?

I am nearing the close of my 24th week of pregnancy and I have to say that it is pretty cool to feel the baby move. But I also have to say, it doesn't feel like a flutter. I don't feel like I have butterflies in my stomach. When the baby moves, the baby pokes you like a poke on Facebook. It is a poke you feel not a flutter. It was hard to imagine a flutter in the earlier weeks of pregnancy but a poke is a better word for it. You can imagine a poke.

I felt light pokes this week.

Overall, I have had a pretty good pregnancy. Nothing out of the normal. I have carpal tunnerl, acid reflux galore, and even an ear infection that has left me deaf to one ear. I seriously hope all these will soon pass.

From Career to Expecting Mom

Time for an update of this blog. I quit the job as a paralegal a couple month back because I am expecting a baby. The decision wasn't an easy one but it was the right one. I wanted a stress free pregnancy. Being a paralegal, and working for lawyers can be stressful.

So far, I don't regret my decision to quit. I am enjoying pregnancy and the journey before delivery. Up until a couple weeks, I didn't feel pregnant because I was not showing much. I am 23 weeks and 5 days pregnant. Now the belly is really growing. I still don't feel the baby moving but it is moving.

In keeping with the theme of this blog, I am going to talk about the day to day grind of parenting and how one can be successful at being a parent, a mommy, a daddy. Motherhood and fatherhood is a job just like any other job and whether you work outside the home or stay home, you have to juggle and balance life to accomodate your kids. I will talk about my husband and how he juggles fatherhood and career, and I will talk about motherhood and how life has changed for me.

It will be a journey worth taking and full of excitement. Looking forward to it.
