YAY! Glad you felt the movements I remember those days well, wondering if you felt it for sure or not.
I like Marla’s suggestion

I know that isn’t really a euphemism for pregnancy but people think it is and I do love me some Love Shack so that’s how I announced my pregnancy with TLG to my friends.

Postcards From My Uterus?
I think the gassy quickening is just the perfect precursor to the fact that pushing felt more like working out a giant bowel movement than anyone ever told me it would.

Hm. I had a hard enough time coming up with a name for my blog, so sorry, can’t help you there, but congrats on feeling the first movements! I remember thinking it was weird, too, that it often felt like gas. Why is that??

Ooh, I remember the goldfish feeling. The midwife told me it couldn’t possibly have been the baby because it happened at only 15 weeks but I don’t care what she says, gas doesn’t feel like a goldfish swimming around.
How about “the alien inside” or something like that? I loved feeling the baby move but I never did shake the feelings of having an alien inside me… a beautiful amazing alien that I already loved to pieces, but an alien nonetheless.
Sorry, I’m never clever about these kinds of things…
