Holy Cow - I felt it on the OUTSIDE!updated

Last night @ 9:30 the baby was SO active. I was laying in bed and I put my hand on my belly and felt 3 distinct kicks - on my hand!!! By the time DH flew upstairs I could only feel it inside. I thought this wasn't supposed to happen till much later!!??!!

How many weeks are you? I started feeling it from the outside around 18-19 weeks. Now at 25 weeks I can actually SEE the kicks from the outside. It's so crazy!!!

Just wait until you can see a limb push out on your belly. A spot will get really hard and poke out. Also, wait until the rolling starts. You can watch the belly roll like a wave. It was so cool!

I'm 19.5 weeks - I can't believe it - I didn't expect it until later.

Isn't it so cool? Now I don't even think about it anymore - I can feel when he's going move and my hand just automatically goes to my belly to feel the kick.

Enjoy!

This is baby #4 for me and I get just as excited as I did with my first child, the first time you feel them move is so amazing. That's one of the greatest feeling of being pregnant.

This is one of my favorite parts of being pregnant. I could watch my belly for hours.

Oh, it is TRULY amazing! And my DH felt it tonight too!!! Appropriately, our little baby decided Daddy could feel him/her during an episode of the Dukes of Hazzard! I don't think DH could've been happier!!
