Tim got to feel the baby kick this week!

Once again, she was kicking away after dinner and I told him to put his hand on my belly, but like usual she either got quiet or her kicks were too soft to feel so he gave up. But a minute later she kicked so hard I actually SAW my belly move so he quickly resumed his post and sure enough, she kicked him, again and again.

The first time I felt her kick was actually before Christmas. I was still wearing my regular jeans, sitting at my desk, leaning slightly forward and I felt this very distinct little PUNT to my insides, immediately followed by a series of flutters. I ran around the office telling everyone that I had just felt my baby kick for the very first time. It was an amazing feeling. That was in my 14th week. On Christmas day I felt all kinds of flutters again, then for weeks after, I felt very little.

The Sunday day before our last ultrasound, I wore my regular jeans again (instead of the roomier, comfy maternity jeans) and I felt her bouncing around in there ALL day long. It was the first time I'd felt her that consistently and it was strange and wonderful.
