I'm at the point where many women start to feel the first "bubbles" of the baby in the womb. Honestly, I'm not paranoid yet about not having felt them, but I was hoping that I would start to feel it by now. I'm 19 1/2 weeks now, and I know that some people don't feel their first kicks until week 22, but I long for that little "flutter" of excitement! I concentrate on my belly from time to time, trying to figure out if that is the baby or not. I notice something that seems very distinct, similar to what I would expect the baby's kicks to feel like...but then I pay attention a little longer and realize it's just too fast and rhythmic to be the baby. It's actually my pulse surging through my whole torso that I'm feeling. =(
Oh well, I'm keeping positive. So far everything is going alright, and I still feel healthy. 1 week from today is the BIG DAY...when I find out the gender!! If you haven't had a chance to place your vote on my poll, you only have a few days left. If only there was a way to track who voted for which...then I'd be able to give a prize for those who guessed correctly! Hmmm...I'll have to think about that!!

I didn't feel it until 22 weeks the first time either. Funny thing, when I finally did, I realized I had been feeling it for a while but just hadn't noticed that is what it was.
When I was about 20 weeks I was laying in bed and felt something and thought, "that felt just like a bubble popping" and realized that it must be the baby kicking. It's so amazing when you do feel the baby, and it's really weird when he/she gets big enough to SEE it moving from the outside! I hope you feel it soon.
