Quickening...or OMG it's alive!!!!!

For weeks now people have been asking me if I can feel Azalea kicking. They say most first time mothers will begin to feel fetal movements (aka "quickening") between the eighteenth and twenty second week. Well on Sunday it was the beginning of my 22nd week and I could still only kind of feel something that might have been digestion...which was (of course!) worrying me. I was at my prenatal yoga class and telling another pregnant woman my concern. She told me, "You know I went from feeling strange things and not knowing what they were to all of a sudden knowing that's what it was and feeling it all the time!" When I got home I happily told this news to Jack. And then, lo and behold, later that night, I felt it...inside and even through my skin on the outside. And I basically feel it every time I sit down...except of course when I want to!
