Somewhere around week 16 or so, people started asking if I'd felt the baby kick yet. At that time, I hadn't, and I didn't know what to expect when it did happen. I started paying close attention to everything I felt in anticipation of those first little movements. About a week later, I started playing a game I liked to call "Kick or Digestion?" I truly couldn't decipher a fetus ninja move vs. gas bubbles. So I decided that if my stomach made a gurgling noise directly after I felt something, it was likely digestion... If there were no sounds and it happened a few times in the same area, it might just be a kick! Over the next couple of weeks, the motions became much more definitive, and now, at just over 20 weeks there's no mistaking what they are. Nice work, ninja baby! They are even strong enough to be felt from the outside now. Such a cool feeling! I can't wait to see Brian (who is back in the states for work) in just a few short weeks and have him experience force of little blackbelt Morrissey!
