Kicking (& screaming?)

Mummy has been feeling you move around for quite a while now. She said it was a bit weird at first plus she didn't really know what it felt like. Other people have told her that it feels like bubbles or flutters but she said she didn't feel anything like that. She said the first movements she felt from you were more definite "thumps" & at the very beginning it felt odd but it was reassuring. Now she says she's got used to it & you're much more active!

Daddy's also felt you move about quite a bit but it's harder for him to feel you thumping around. Mummy's tummy is very thick, that's so you are well protected from the outside world while you grow. One Sunday morning a couple of weeks ago just after we woke up, daddy had his arm stretched around mummy's tummy & both of us were lying in bed, not moving, hoping to feel something. Daddy felt a nudge & kept quiet waiting for something more definite, then he felt 4 quick nudges in a row that were firmer. Then mummy asked him if he had felt you knocking - she had felt you too. It was amazing!!

It's incredible to think how much you've developed & grown over such a short time. You've been cooking for nearly 6 months now & it's gone so fast! We are both really looking forward to meeting you.
