today we got to hear the turkey’s heartbeat for the first time!  it was so strong and steady (low-mid 160s bpm) and washing-machine-like 🙂  the nurse said that the little bump noises are where s/he is punching/kicking the walls of the womb.  so very cool.  she mentioned that I should be feeling the movements any day now and I said that I thought I had been feeling teeny tiny movements over the last week but that I figured it must just be gas since all the books/sites say that doesn’t happen until 16-20 weeks.  she said since i’m so thin, it’s very probable that i’m already feeling flutters.  so, yay!  I’ve already started to feel the itsy bitsy kicks of my turkey!!!  I wish I could remember the first night I noticed it.  seems like I really only feel them when I lay down at night if I lay on my back and concentrate on my belly.  I hate that it’ll still be several weeks before hubby gets to feel the little tyke but i’m thrilled that I can.
