First Official Kicks!

On Friday (15+6) I felt baby's first strong kick. It only feels like being flicked from the inside but it was quite strong and surprised me. The baby has been doing what feel like somersaults and rolling around the past couple of days with little kicks here and there. We have officially graduated out of the "flutters" and are on to more distinct movements. It feels so good, I can't even describe. Already perfect timing as I get into bed to go to sleep for the night the party begins in there. This baby is not as active as Julia so far, I first felt her at 15/16 weeks, those were flutters, and they were soo often. By 18 weeks she was kicking me regularly and very often! It will be interesting to see if this baby is more calm in the long run. Wouldn't that be different, I thought Julia's crazy movement in the womb was normal...and then she came out and she was this super easy, content, smiley baby that never cried, slept through the night in the first month and had a very easy-going nature...which turned into a VERY active, high-energy, strong-willed and clever toddler. Makes me wonder what combination we'll get for round 2! I can't wait to find out...fingers crossed for another great sleeper!
