In general, I love feeling the baby move. S/he is pretty predictable in movements, usually right after lunch the baby moves and in the evening when I sit down to rest. I just love it. It never gets old.
Of course, the added benefit is the reassurance that I get from feeling the movements. I felt really terrible this morning after cleaning house all day yesterday and this morning. I laid down for a bit and didn't think much of it. Then after eating lunch and sitting down to relax I didn't feel baby and realized I hadn't really felt it all day. A couple of other things worried me as well (that are TMI but worrying anyway).
And so, it is wonderful to lay down on the couch this evening and feel the familiar flutters and be able to relax a little bit knowing that my baby is moving away in there.
Tuesday is the next appointment and hopefully we'll be setting up the "big" ultrasound. So excited to find out if we're getting a baby brother or sister for the HJ :)
I know exactly what you mean about those reassuring movements. Nothing beats that feeling!
