20 Weeks and Kicking!
Maria has been able to feel the baby moving for several weeks now. But last night was the first that I have been able to feel it. I’ve put my hand on her belly several times when she said it was moving around, but I could never feel anything. It seems like every time she eats something or whenever she first comes to bed that the baby starts to move around. Last night, she came to bed and, like clockwork, the baby started to move. I put my hand on her belly and, to my great surprise and delight, I could actually feel it moving!
I find it fascinating and odd all at the same time. I can only imagine how Maria must feel. It was the smallest of thumps under my hand, but it was definitely moving about. I hear stories of people seeing distinct hand or foot shaped prints pressing outwards on the belly, but we’re months away from that. While mind blowing-ly amazing, this would freak me right out! It doesn’t help that today I awoke with a headache and came downstairs bright and early to find Alien playing on television.

Hahahahah! Alien!
So glad you’ve been able to feel it! We’re going to try the malteser test soon and place one on my tummy to see it bouncing around!
Good luck with your scan today, looking forward to seeing the pictures! xx
