Good news and bad news: the baby kicks have been felt. The first official kicks happened 2 weeks ago. I think Little E must have found a crevice to start kicking (around the placenta). Then for the past 2 evenings I've felt regular thumping. Fortunately it hasn't been strong or regular enough to keep me up at night (when that happens, that's the bad news).
Here's what babycenter.com says about how baby kicks feel:
Women have described the sensation as being like popcorn popping, a goldfish swimming around, or butterflies fluttering. You'll probably chalk up those first gentle taps or swishes in your belly to gas or hunger pains, but once you start feeling them more regularly, you'll recognize the difference. You're more likely to feel these early movements when you're sitting or lying quietly.
