Sound the alarms and a moment of celebration that this venture is half way over and we are that much closer to meeting our little man! Yup yup we are officially at 20 weeks now. Time flies. We had our 5 month appointment today and all is well with baby and momma. Baby's heartbeat is a strong 143 beats per minute and I am starting to get random swirly/butterfly feelings in my tummy which I know is our little one moving around like crazy. I actually felt kicks this week, we have a fetal heart doppler at home - I know ladies who use their doppler every day but I only check in on him every other week or so usually in between doctor appointments. I checked today and found him pretty quickly however within seconds of feeling him I felt him kick the doppler wand and then swim away from that spot. I found him on the other side of my tummy and again he kicked the doppler. It was such a weird feeling and I can't quite explain what it felt like other then being distinctive.
