I felt her kicking for the first time this week! Up until now I had just felt little bubbles that could have been gas or could have been her moving. But this was different and I now know it is her moving around and kicking!
The first time it felt like a little twitch just below my lower right ribs. I thought, that's weird, and didn't think anything more of it. The next day, I felt the same thing, but this time in my lower left abdomen. I thought, wow, that was the same feeling I felt yesterday, and I've never felt it before, I wonder if that is what it feels like when she kicks. It has begun to happen more frequently since then and I'm am positive now that it is most definitely her kicking. I always wanted to have a baby someday, but before I became pregnant, I always thought that the idea of having another living being growing and moving inside of you was kind of creepy; Now that I am pregnant and it's happening to me I've done a total 180 and it feels like the most wonderful, most incredible, magical thing ever! It's not weird or creepy at all. It's great! I love her so much already and I make sure to tell her everyday!
The other day the most surprising thing happened - she kicked me several times in the same spot (around the lower right abdomen) and she literally made me laugh out loud. She was tickling me from the inside! I always knew I was ticklish, but never realized I was that ticklish. So, I started talking to her and then singing to her and she seemed to calm down (at least I couldn't feel it anymore). So, ever since then, if I feel her moving around a lot, I sing to her and rub my belly and it truly seems to calm her down. Now, it might just be a coincidence, but I like to think it soothes her.
Also, now that she's kicking I have convinced Mike to talk to her (he felt silly about it before, but I guess after finding out it's a girl and seeing the super clear ultra sounds and now hearing me talk about her kicking and hearing me talk to her, he's starting to feel comfortable doing the same). So we tell her good morning and good night everyday and some other stuff here and there. He doesn't talk to her nearly as much as I do, but then again, he's not with her all day long like I am :)
