And the kick is good!

Yep, first kick felt this afternoon! I'll be sixteen weeks tomorrow, so this was totally unexpected at this point. #1 I couldn't feel until 23 weeks. But there are some differences. Last time, my placenta was in the front, preventing me from feeling a lot, and I never got the distinct feet or hands coming through my belly. It was also a first, so it can take longer to figure out what you're feeling, although I was straining for so long that I think I felt things as soon as it was possible. This time around the placenta is in the back (does this mean back labor is less likely??) so #2 has free access to the front! And of course, I recognized the kick as soon as it happened. I was laying down in the nursery, since someone only wanted a short nap this afternoon and I was in pain, and Kick! just like that, right in the middle of my belly. Instantly made me less annoyed at my toddler's antics. And yes, it's nearly as miraculous the second time around as the first :)
