Feeling movement

I started feeling actual kicks a couple of days ago. I've been feeling flutters here and there for a few weeks now, but wasn't 100% convinced that it was the baby and not just...um, digestion. Also, this morning I felt her kick from the outside for the first time! I felt a couple of stronger kicks, and put my hand where they were coming from. Sure enough, a couple of seconds later I felt a tiny little tap on my hand! I wasn't expecting this to happen for at least another month, so it's very exciting. I can't wait until K can feel her...it probably won't be long now.

According to Babycenter.com:











Head to rump, your baby is about 5 1/2 inches long (about the length of a bell pepper) and she weighs almost 7 ounces. She's busy flexing her arms and legs — movements that you'll start noticing more and more in the weeks ahead. Her blood vessels are visible through her thin skin, and her ears are now in their final position, although they're still standing out from her head a bit. A protective covering of myelin is beginning to form around her nerves, a process that will continue for a year after she's born. If you're having a girl, her uterus and fallopian tubes are formed and in place. If you're having a boy, his genitals are noticeable now, but he may hide them from you during an ultrasound.
