One of the things that I wanted most out of pregnancy, other than a baby and being able to breastfeed, is to feel the baby move. So for a couple of weeks I kept thinking, "Is that the baby or just stomach gurgles?" I finally was able to feel the baby move and know that it was him/her. The last week, he/she has been moving a lot! Last night, the movements seemed stronger than normal so I put my hand on my stomach where it felt like some kicking was taking place. Sure enough, I felt it with my hand! Before I got too excited, I asked Ben to see if he could feel it. We were quiet for a moment then I said "Did you feel that?" and he said "Actually I did."
I'm not sure at what point you are supposed to feel the baby outwardly but I think it's early. In the ultrasound picture, the baby's legs seem long so maybe he or she is just really strong.

So exciting, Rach! So exciting that Ben was able to feel the baby, too. Hooray for the miracle of growing babies! \(^_^)/
Aww, that makes me smile. I so remember doing that with Greg. Such a miracle to be able to share together, and I'm so glad Ben is able to feel the baby move already! Now he'll have his hands on your belly all the time (surprisingly, it gets annoying after a while!)
