My visible uterus! And feeling movements to boot!

I've been able to palpate the edges of my uterus since around 10 weeks, and while I definitely feel thicker around the middle (despite no actual weight gain yet), I still feel like I look more food-belly than baby-belly.

Well, to my surprise, when I woke up this morning--just a day shy of 16 weeks--and stretched in bed I could SEE my uterus. When I lay on my back, lift my butt up off the bed/floor, and "suck in" a bit, it becomes so obvious. So, of course after yelling for Art to come take a look, I captured a picture :)

Taken from my chest level, looking down...



And now, on top of that excitement, I've been feeling what I'm chalking up to be fetal movements these past few days. I only notice them randomly when I'm quiet and still, but I can't imagine these quivers/taps could be anything else. Last night Art and I spent some time on the couch quietly laying with his hand on my belly, and we both felt the same quiver/tap in the same spot to the right. I'm convinced it was the baby :)
