Movement!

I felt one of the babies move for the first time last night!

Janet was told that she should expect to feel movement starting anywhere from 20 weeks to 24 weeks in. When 24 weeks rolled around with still no definitive movement we were starting to wonder if we would ever feel them moving. Janet said she had been feeling a “flutter” from time to time but nothing that couldn’t be explained by borborygmi.

Apparently babies in utero tend to be most active at night while mom is sleeping as her daily activity tends to lull them to sleep and that fits with our experience as I felt the girl move while laying in bed as Janet and I were going to sleep.

Now that Janet knows what to look for she says she thinks she has only felt the girl move so far. We are both looking forward to feeling the boy move next.
