All of the literature says that at about 16 weeks is the earliest time when you can feel the baby move (I am now at 18 weeks as of yesterday) but that those feeling (also called "quickening") could feel like almost anything innocuous such as butterflies, gas or hunger pains. I feel like mine up to this point might have been hunger pains because I would feel them when I wasn't hungry (i.e. after just eating). But then early this morning, Chris and I just happened to be awake and he was touching my belly when I felt a rolling sensation on the right side of my belly. Like a hand or foot or some other little part!!!! It was very cool and exciting! I can't wait to feel more of the baby's movements.
We were talking yesterday about all of the milestones we are experiencing almost daily. It is soooo amazing to find out the sex of your first born and then to feel those first perceptible movements. Yesterday, I also felt so very pregnant for the first time. Up to this point, it has seemed a bit unreal. But now, I can't even believe how happy I am!!
