Baby kicking woke me up in the middle of the night!

At 18 weeks today with #3, I have been dying to really feel my baby move.  I've felt the little flutters once in a while that have made me think, "Hey, I bet that was the baby."  Last night, I finally got that reassurance I was looking for.  I woke up to find the baby just going crazy.  I had a big smile on my face as I lay there, feeling the tiny little thumps deep inside.  I was feeling as though I wasn't bonding with this baby yet, like I was afraid to get connected, even though I've had two great ultrasounds.  Last night's experience changed that for me.  Now, I really feel a connection to this new little life.  I can't wait to meet him/her!

Oh This brings back the memories. I use to love feeling my sons kick and turn before they were born.

My mother was leaning against a heating vent, looking out of a window when she was pregnant with me. She says I kicked so hard that she had a bruise on her abdomen in the form of the vent lines.

Yay for feeling the baby kick! It is one of the most wonderful feelings in the world!!! My favorite thing about being pregnant!!
My lil one's favorite time to move around is in the middle of the night, he keeps me up many nights dancing around, I guess he is just getting me used to the idea of no sleep, lol.

What a wonderful thing for your baby to know the exact time that you need to bond. One of the best times of being pregnant was when my little one kicked.
Thanks for sharing this.

awwww... Wish I was pregnant again...haha! Well, I mean, I just popped out a 2nd back to back, so it is a little soon? haha, but I mean, I hated the heartburn during the end of pregnancy, but what can I say? I liked it sometimes miss it and sometimes I had the moments where I was like, when is this kid getting out of me? LOL!
Michelle C. Mar 21, 2009, 1:09am EDT
What joy. Hope your pregnancy is a healthy one. Just say a prayer, that's all you can do. ;)
