Nudge, nudge...

Actually it was just one single, tiny, almost imperceptible nudge. I felt it yesterday morning from inside my belly on the left side, while I was standing on the subway platform waiting for a train. No, there were no trains entering the station and rumbling the platform. No, it wasn't gas. No, it wasn't my Thanksgiving dinner working its way through my system. These are all theories that J came up with, since he didn't quite believe it could be anything else. But I am almost entirely convinced that it was Mr. Bean (whom we have now taken to calling "Shim", for "she" or "him"...)saying a little hello. That was the first thing I've felt, but I am at 18 weeks now, which is right about the time they say you can first feel something. I was expecting a flutter, which is how it is most often described, but this was not a flutter. Is it too early for a tiny little nudge?
