Just a day before I turn 20 weeks, I felt Lucy’s first little kicks. Last night around 10:30 p.m., we listened to her heartbeat with the doppler, and she was constantly wiggling around. I could feel her fluttering all over. Then, I felt three little pangs like someone flicking me with a finger, which I’m assuming was her kicking. It was crazy because she’s never moved around like that before at night, even when we listen to her with the doppler. It was pretty cool. I even thought I could feel one of her kicks with my hand on my belly, but it might have been just because I was feeling her from the inside because Joe didn’t feel it.
I don’t feel a lot of movement during the day. I think she sleeps then. But now, I’m anxious to see what I feel at nights. I’m hoping I’ll start feeling more and more movement. I can’t wait … even if I lose some sleep from it!
Aww, how exciting! This is just the beginning too 🙂 I remember w/all my pregnancies, I’d feel more movements/kicking @ nite also~I guess because after dinner my tummy was full & I was more relaxed & not moving around as much myself. Here’s to happy kicking for you guys 🙂
Oh, isn’t that the best? I love it! I was never one of those people that complained about the kicking bothering me and keeping me up. I always loved feeling my little babies. I can’t wait to feel this one, too.
So exciting! I am thrilled for you guys.
In-utero movement is one of the first things about parenting that will hold to this rule: you’ll love it, and you’ll worry over it. Enjoy this part – it’s one thing every mama misses. 🙂
Congrats! I’m also outside of Atlanta – it’s comforting to know someone else so close is going through this journey. good luck to you, your DH & the baby! 🙂
Oh how cool! I can still remember seeing my daughter’s elbow bulging from my belly. I was laying in the bathtub at the time.
That’s so cool!! I’m so ready for that. Enjoy every minute of it;)
oh hun… how wonderful to feel those kicks of life! Pretty soon you will be able to feel her elbowing you, and her baby bum bumping you too… this is absolutely the best that life has to offer…. enjoy every moment!
Yay! That’s awesome news!
So exciting!!!
That’s so exciting!! I bet that’s just the most awesome feeling.
What a beautiful time in your pregnancy. It is something to treasure. You bring back wonderful memories for me.
