First Baby Kicks

When I was 17.5 weeks I was at dinner and thought I felt a couple of kicks from the baby, but I wasn't 100% sure.  Over the next couple of weeks I did feel kicks and jabs, but they were sporadic.  Last night I started feeling him kick several times in the same area and it was the most amazing feeling ever.  Right before I went to bed he was kicking me in the middle of my belly and I was able to feel them from the outside.  He kicked three times in the same area and then once again a little to the left and all four times I felt it from the outside (Craig was out of town for work so unfortunately he missed it).  The other night Allison thought she felt him from the outside when she pushed in my stomach, but she wasn't 100% sure.  Craig is very excited to feel him kick so hopefully it will happen again soon.
