August 2007 : Quickening

August 15, I feel the quickening today. It is so wonderful. I feel like a big bubble bursting in my tummy, then I stop doing everything and try to stay very still and wait to see if s/he will do it again, but No. I try to walk around, also try a little jump, but it's no use.

The next day, I feel the baby move again 2 time consecutively and several times during dinner:0 Sometime it feel like gentle taps or swishes in my belly, sometime it feel like a kick. Since then, I feel s/he move everyday. I 'm not yet to notice the different between kick, punch or hiccup, but I love to think that my baby might do acrobat right now:)

I explain to PP about this amazing quickening, he curious about it and want to feel it too. He put his hand on my belly every night and wait to see if he can feel it, but no luck he feel nothing.
This might be one of the best part for being mom, like a special prize for hard work...only mom can feel.
