First kick?

I just have to let this out. Few nights ago, when my partner and I were just lying down and having some "hu-homm" talk, I suddenly felt something on my tummy. I thought someone/something touched the inside of my belly! Oh my God? Was it my baby’s first kick?

So I surfed the net (who knows it could be just gas hehe) and came across this one passage about fetal movement  (www.babycenter.com):

Women have described the sensation as being like popcorn popping, a goldfish swimming around, or butterflies fluttering. You’ll probably chalk up those first gentle taps or swishes in your belly to gas or hunger pains, but once you start feeling them more regularly, you’ll recognize the difference. You’re more likely to feel these early movements when you’re sitting or lying quietly.

Way to go baby!

After that amazing experience, I become aware of any slight movement inside my tummy. And true enough, the baby is kicking tremendously! The kicks (or maybe punches!)  become more frequent and vary from a faint one to a much stronger one. Woohooh! I have a great feeling my baby is gonna be one hell of an athlete. I wish!
