Baby's First Kick

Well its official! Baby has started to move around enough that I can tell its the baby moving and not my stomach (or something else). I'll always remember the moment that I felt the first kick, or movement, as I was getting a massage and was in an utter state of relaxation. I have now learnt that when I'm sitting on the couch, not thinking of a million things I need to do, and really getting to a relaxing mood that baby will start moving around. Its a really amazing feeling and I keep wondering what baby is really up to. Perhaps a kick, or maybe just repositioning. Either way, its such a wonderful feeling to know baby is moving around happily.

Clayton also got to feel the first signs of movement the other night. I think he's waiting for a few big kicks to know for sure, but he definitely felt something. I estimate that the movements will become bigger over the next months but right now they are big enough for me to feel, but not so big that I can see the baby moving around in my belly. Soon enough. Happy swimming little one!

Not my belly, but you get the idea ;)
