Week 18 Kicking!

On the day of 18 weeks, I had quite a shocking surprise.  It was sunday night and we just had friends over for dinner, once they left I wanted to use my heartbeat monitor.  I was listening the heartbeat and suddenly the baby pushed against the monitor so hard, and I screamed I wasn't expecting that. I of course moved it and the same thing baby pushed against it. Mark came over and tried to push gently with his fingers but the baby didn't kick him. It was so neat to feel the baby so strong.  Up until that day I had been feeling flutters and a little bit of movement on occasion and when I would eat something sweet.  Ever since that day I feel my little one moving, bumping, and kicking everyday. It is truly the most amazing thing you can experience.
