flutters

I felt Bean move!! At least I am pretty sure I did. I felt light flutters across my lower abdomen. It sorta felt like when you barely run your fingertips across your belly, except from the inside. I *think* I have felt him/her move twice now. I wish I could feel more distinct movements, it would be reassuring to know s/he's moving around in there. We also bought a car. I am really surprised how easy it was and what we found. We got a 2006 Kia Optima, 33k miles. We spent less on it than we thought, and that was a huge blessing because then we had money left over to pay off medical bills. That was a huge concern for me, and one of the biggest points of contention about this purchase. It was a big relief to get this aspect of baby preparation taken care of. We're wrapping up the last week of school this week, and I have 2 stats projects left, a paper for British Empire, and wrapping up my capstone-then two finals. Its a little overwhelming, but the reward will be great.
On a separate note, I have been having a massive amount of back pain lately. I have  prescription for percocet but am reluctant to take it. My midwife said its OK, because the benefits outweigh the risks, but it makes me uncomfortable to be on high-power pain pills with Bean exposed to them. I am hoping for relief by resting and ice/heat. I am also under the care of a chiropractor, which was helping a lot more when I could lay on my stomach. :( at this point he doesn't feel comfortable having me lay on my stomach. Once school is out, I should have more time to rest and hopefully get some relief.
On a side note...i have a online poll up to guess Beans gender, weight, birthday, etc. go there now and guess!
