Moving and a Groovin'

Within the last couple of days I have started to feel little BG2 moving around! It's comparable to feeling popcorn kernels pop inside of your belly. Very subtle little movements but they are there! So funny to me that at 16/17 weeks I have felt this baby move but with Jake, I wasn't convinced that I felt him moving until I was practically 24 weeks pregnant! Ha ha, I think with Jake I was waiting for some huge kick out of him to know it was real.

Pregnancy Update: I had my post-op check-up the day before Thanksgiving. My doctor is really happy with the results of the cerclage procedure and said I could be off bed rest for at least 4 more weeks. I go back in at 20 weeks (right before XMas) for another check-up and from there he said it is just taking it appointment by appointment. He said they really don't worry too much about anything happening now (between 16 and 20 weeks) but it's at 20 weeks and beyond that they will monitor much more closely for any changes to the cervix to indicate preterm labor. He told me (again!) just to really take it as easy as possible - no lifing over 20 pounds (easier said than done with a 25 pound 16 month old!), no exercise, limit physical activity, yadda yadda. No 6 hour long shopping trips (good thing I do my shopping online anyway)!
