Baby Movement

I first felt the baby move really early. It was exciting, but very infrequent. Now that the baby moves ALL THE TIME, I find it distracting.

If I had to guess, I  would say that I began to feel the baby move at least once a day by the time I was 14 weeks along. I was waiting until what I felt could be seen or felt from the outside.  At about 17-18 weeks pregs the baby began to wake up with me and bounce around for a considerable amount of time and the movements were getting stronger. I was 17 weeks pregnant when I decided to put my hand on my belly to see if I could feel it and I could. I was at my parents' house at the time and no one wanted to feel the baby move because they felt my husband should be the first. I guess that's fair. With me feeling the baby move I wondered how long it would be before I could see the baby move. Apparently, these events go hand in hand unless I should have started feeling for the baby earlier. Whatever. It's pretty cool and alien like at the same time. See if you can spot the baby movements outside of my breathing in this video. Hint: Look at the right side of the video just above my PJs. Please ignore the trash tv I'm watching and pay no mind to the ridiculous amount of hair on my belly...it's the hormones.
