First Proper Kick!!!

I felt my first proper kick yesterday (18th March) at 20 weeks, I could feel it on the outside too and it made me jump. So amazing. Now I know what this feels like I have been having some movements from about week 16, I was expecting to feel a 'popping' feeling as people had told me this is what it feels like, but it was more of a twitchy feeling.

We had the 20 week scan this week too. We weren't able to find out the gender as the baby was in the wrong position but very pleased that everything seems to be good. We were marvelling at the fact the baby's thigh bone is 3cm long! The scan pics did not seem to be as good as the 13 week scan but not long now until we can meet our baby in real life.

Getting organised and got some more reusable nappies from Ebay, almost got a big enough newborn stash now :-)
