My little precious girl started kicking me around the 16th week or so. First it felt like vibrations or popcorns! But now in my 22nd week... she has started kickboxing! She is very active and kicks me all through the day and evening. I think I sleep like a log, so I can't feel her in the night. But early in the morning around 6am I can definitely feel the kid pricking me with her tiny feet and waking me up! When my husband first felt her kicks, he was absolutely amazed and startled! Since this is our first baby we are super excited at every little antic this baby does. One day I was working in my office and she made a complete 360 degrees turn vertically, and kicked me as she went along changing her positions! Being pregnant is the most amazing gift we women have!

This is our first baby, and she is always moving and kicking around in there. I really do not enjoy being pregnant, but it's all worthwhile when I feel her moving around in there!

My little Ninja has been kicking from about 19 weeks. Now I am 25 weeks and he surely loves his all day workouts. It's crazy how much of a schedule he is already on! I love being pregnant!

I am 21 weeks and two days. This is my second pregnancy. I have a daughter who has just turned four, so I have forgotten what it was like to be pregnant. But I do remember that my daughter hardly kicked and I could sleep peacefully throughout the night, however my baby boy (yes, YAY one of each) is very active, he is a constant kicker!! LOL He's like his daddy, a soccer player!! In fact, I was bottle feeding my nephew yesterday and he constantly kicked and only stopped once. I had to pass my nephew back to his father. It was very funny.

This is our fith and last child and although it has been 6 years since the last pregnancy and I may have just forgotten, it seems like this one is way more active. I'm at 25 weeks and yesterday decided to count kicks. By 7pm, I stopped at 250 kicks. I am fortunate that the baby seems to be sleeping at night. Or maybe I am just a very deep sleeper.

I am 22 weeks pregnant and everytime I feel the baby kick it makes me smile. Sometimes I feel him move alot and sometimes not so much. He likes to move when his father talks to my belly. Whenever I get worried that he isn't moving enough, I'll have my boyfriend talk to him and that usually gets him kicking. It's so sweet!
