I felt the baby move for the first time last weekend! It wasn’t a kick, really more of a …flutter. I told my friend Grant and he says he’s heard many women refer to the baby’s first movements as being “like a goldfish in a bowl.” I have to admit that’s pretty apt description.
I'm a writer and mom living in Oakland. This is my personal blog; I write about parenting, cooking, local issues, books, and anything else that's rattling around inside my head.
I am the author of The Millennial Sword, an urban fantasy novel set in San Francisco, and two read-aloud picture books for kids, The Big Booger Bubble and Gail Murphy and the Piskies.

Wow! Yay! Such a nice feeling and so exciting. I remember thinking it was like a butterfly too.
