Tonight I listened to the heartbeat (as I do every night) and the baby kicked at the wand! It gave a squelch and I felt the movement, then the heartbeat went away.... s/he moves around a lot so I have to follow with the doppler sometimes.
After three years, dozens of pregnancy tests, doctor appointments, shots and needles, thousands of miles travelled, countless dollars invested, more ultrasounds, exams and heartache than we care to remember... we are finally, happily, tiredly pregnant!!

Movement
I've been feeling the baby move daily now. At first it was just once or twice a day, but now it's happening throughout the day, usually starting in the mid afternoon. There are a few distinct kicks, faint but there, and a lot of what is referred to as 'quickening'. Sort of a butterfly - like sensation. It's very pleasant and exciting! I like it best when it happens while I'm talking to someone... it's so secret. There's this baby inside me squirming around and only I am aware of it.
