Movements

18 weeks 5 days
weight ~ 59.5kg

mummy has been waiting in anticipation with Baby 'communication' portal in the way of feeling his movements. It was pretty tough since descriptions shared by mums to be (mtbs) are rather vague or perhaps mummy has a thicker skin than others.

However unexpectedly on 26 Aug 08, the excitement rose further. We marked another of Baby's milestone as we crossed the 18th week. Mummy was preparing for bed and while watching television program, she felt some twitching motions and light pushes / knocks on the right lower abdomen. Hardly noticeable initially, it became more prominent and obvious. It was tough to describe how it exactly feel like, perhaps bubbles bursting feels more like it (well, trying my very best to decribe). Though highly excited, mummy felt skeptical and worried as it felt so surreal, After composing myself and staying more focused, mummy enjoyed this special moment and grin to herself.

Over the last few days, the movements / knocks / kicks / pushes are much more obvious and apparently likely to occur in the night though on a few occasions in the noon. Perhaps movements are more obvious when baby is hungry which served as a reminder to mummy that food will be appreciated.

On a personal note based on mummy's own observation, it appear that not much growth have been observed on the tum tum although the figures are increasing on the weighing scale. Well, it could be a positive thing on the assumption that food went to Baby instead? (consoling myself to some extent). Mummy still appear FAT with the buldge instead of looking pregnant!
