Ya know when your baby smiles as an infant.  I *KNOW* it's because he or she is happy, content and satisfied.  Yet "professionals" tell me it's gas - whatever....

Yet in this particular instance, I can't decide if it really *is* gas or not.

Last night I crawled into bed LATE:  2:30am maybe.  (as I side note, I was printing some stuff on-line for our upcoming schooling and I just lost track of time - how easy that happens). 
When I finally did crawl into bed, my head was still going a million miles an hour, so I was trying to do some relaxing, deep breathing.  Then I started feeling around my abdomen.

**as a side note:  I am overweight.  So it is during this point in my pregnancy when I really start getting those "I pray everything is okay" thoughts, 'cause I can't really SEE a pregnant belly.  I don't get those cute little basketball bellies like some women.  I carry it ALL over and usually pretty wide**

So anyways, I was laying there, trying to feel my uterus - when I fell a roll.  That's what it felt like, as though the baby had just rolled over at my touch.

Now, this is my fourth pregnancy.  You'd think I would be able to tell baby movements apart from gas.  But while I kept trying to feel more movements, I also DID feel gas bubbles.  I thought perhaps I felt the baby move twice more - and then quite a few gas bubbles as well.

So there you go....was it my baby or was it gas??

I'm going to go ahead and believe it was my baby.  I'll have my first OB appointment soon and then I'll feel much better about this whole thing.
