So according to the books and doctors you should be able to feel baby moving around inside anywhere between 15 and 20 weeks (first time mom's usually don't feel it until a little later). My sister started feeling kicks around 15 weeks so I've been paying close attention for the past 2-3 weeks and NOTHING. There were a few occasions where I thought...maayybbeee but I really wasn't sure.
Well last night I finally laid down to go to sleep and when I rolled on my right side I felt a VERY distinct punch from the inside right below my belly button. It startled me so I called Dane to the back and we waited to see if baby would kick again. Of course once Dane left, the baby was wriggling and kicking up a storm for about 10 minutes. I have to say it's the most amazing feeling in the world. It's hard to explain to others that haven't experienced it, but there is a life inside that is moving and grooving! Some people explain it as butterfly flutters...or feeling like gas bubbles, but last night it was a definite kick in the gut which put the biggest smile on my face! :)
