Baby flutters!

I wasn't going to post anything until the second trimester started but this is too good to wait. Today, I was sitting in front of my computer looking up the latest updates on Hurricane Irene. I was surprised to feel something in the lower part of my belly. It continued to vibrate and it felt like bubbles. It was as though someone had put a straw into my stomach and started blowing. It lasted for 3-5 seconds. I panicked and stood up and immediately it stopped. Then I felt nauseous. I have to be careful with the sudden standing! I called the OBGYN nurse because this first time Mom worried. She told me that it was too early to feel anything because the baby was so deep in the uterus, but when I did some research online I found a whole group of women who experienced the same. Many of these women said that indeed they felt the fluttering as well and as time passed it continued to get stronger and turned into the full fledged movements that you could feel outside the belly too. I also read that second time mothers will feel the fluttering as early as 12 weeks because they tend to be more tuned into their bodies. Also, the movement happens in moments when you are relaxing, like sitting in a chair. After doing my own research, I am convinced that I felt BC today. BC is letting me know that he/she is there and would like some lunch please!
