Alex I'll Take "What is Quickening for $200"

Quickening. An odd word. An even odder definition. It is the creaping and slight movement that the baby makes during weeks 16 through 20 before the momma-to-be starts to feel the kicking of the baby. Sometimes it feels like a air bubbles running across your stomach. sometimes like a little tickle in a certain spot of the belly but from the inside. Other times it feels like an itch in a certain spot but from the inside as well. Well, I am proud to say I am finally there. I can feel the quickening of the baby. Looking forward to the upcoming weeks when I can feel the baby really move and start kicking. I am in the last week of my 4th month. Starting this Wednesday I start my 5th month. Woo Hoo. It feels like it took forever to get here. 4 more weeks to go till we find out the baby's sex and get another ultrasound. I feel great and am enjoying every minute of this. I have finally picked out which crib I want and now just need to go buy it and pick it up. It's Dan's job to build it (he just doesn't know it yet LOL). Once we know the baby's sex I will be able to finally register too. Really looking forward to that one. So here's to the next month, let it go by slowly, let me enjoy it fully and let the time spent exploring my new relationship with my child be mesmerizing.
