Movement?

For all those mommies who have had more then two kids I have a question. Is it possible for me to be feeling movement when I am only 13 weeks?
It's not all the time...obviously. But every once and a while I feel something on my left side that resembles the little fluttering of a baby. Phil thinks I'm crazy.

Emma I didn't feel until I was 17 weeks, Ethan I believe was around 14 or 15 weeks. I can't remember exactly because I don't have his pregnancy journal with me but I know it was much earlier than with Emma.

I am just wondering if this is even possible.

I would say yes only because I have been pregnant so many times and now know what to look for. My uterus has probably "thinned" a bit from all the pregnancies making it easier to feel. I know the baby is small....about 3 cm right now but the way I see it is that kidney stones are milimeters and you can feel those suckers. Phil says "well yah but that's in your urinary tract." and I said "so it's my uterus...it's still inside me what's the difference?"

So he thinks I am totally batty but could this be possible?

12 weeks 4 days

Today was my first real doctor's appointment. I had my physical today. I just have one question. Why am I the unlucky one, that whenever she goes in for a pap they have someone new that is being taught how to do a pap? The past two times it's been this way and the exam has taken forever. I know they have to practice on someone but why does it seem like it's always me?

Moving on. I weigh 142 lbs according to their scale, but home here without clothing I weigh 140. I like my scale better. : )

Baby's heart rate was 141 beats per minute which is much slower then last time and more where it should be.

My baby is super active. Which is alot like Ethan was. The doctor could not get over how active. The new person tried to find a heartbeat and it was difficult and took her a long time. The doctor gave it a try and had the same issue. She would get it for about 5 seconds and then whoosh...off the baby went to the other side of my uterus. The doctor said she has never seen a baby that is so active at this point. She chased him or her around forever before she finally got the heart beat. lol. Oh boy, I am in for it.

At my next doctor's appointment I will be 17 weeks exactly so that is too early for an ultrasound. But they will schedule one between that appointment and my next. So in about 6 weeks we get to find out if its pink or blue! Woo Hoo!
