It's 10th February 2009 today...
And as per this website, based on my EDD & the first day of my last menstrual period... Today is predicted as Baby Jr.'s "Quickening" day! :D
(Source: http://www.fortunebaby.com/due-date-calculator.html)So what is 'Quickening'??
Some other definitions...
Okay! So you get the idea now! :P
Hmmmmm.
Some other definitions...
- Pronunciation (kwik'en-ing) : Signs of life felt by the mother as a result of fetal movements, usually appearing 16–20 weeks into pregnancy. (Source: http://dictionary.webmd.com/terms/quickening)
Bubbles. Butterflies. Gas. These are all words used to describe what a baby's first movements feel like to a mother.
Quickening is defined as the first time you feel your baby move. This is a long anticipated event in every pregnancy.
If you are expecting your first baby you can expect to feel your baby for the first time between 18 and 24 weeks gestation. If this is not your first baby you can expect to feel your baby a bit sooner than you felt your first. This is usually said to happen because you know what you're feeling for and your uterus is more stretched out than it was the first time around. (Source: http://pregnancy.about.com/cs/fetaldevelopment/a/aa082999.htm)
- Quickening is the moment most pregnant women await eagerly. What you have seen during your scan is visual, while quickening offers you something more tangible - your baby's first movement. It makes your pregnancy a whole lot more real! For the first time during pregnancy you will feel your baby move, and this usually happens around weeks 18-20.

Okay! So you get the idea now! :P
Hmmmmm.
Kicks? Nudge? Flutters? Butterflies?? Err... Gas??? :P
Ohh...
I've been feeling some flutters and butterflies for few days now. My question is... Is that IT?? Is that the movement of our Baby Jr.?! Who can confirm this?
Ohh I wish that's him/her... Right this moment, I'm still eagerly waiting for Baby Jr. to confirm his/her
Baby Jr. darling, make some obvious moves please!! Mummy has been waiting for this moment ever since I got to know you're inside me!!! Yes, and so is Daddy... *grins*
I just hope that one of these days, I can feel him/her...
Ohhhh I just CAN'T WAIT!!!! ;D
Love you sooo much, my Babies! Both of you, my BIG Hubby BABY & BABY JR.!! Mwa mwa... *hugs tight²*

Anita,
I pun xsabar la nak rasa.. babe, xkan tak tahu lagi gender baby u... ish...
as a wife to a husband who works for the gomen hospital, i would advise you to go for private eekekke..
hohoho.. thanks ladies! well, blom btol2 rasa.. tp dah rasa sket kot.. dari last week or 2 weeks back dah rasa cam flutters and bubbles dlm tummy.. tatau gas ke or ape.. rasa cam 'dia' tp x sure la kan.. this time, rasa lg.. 2,3 hari ni rasa lain mcm.. hmmm.. to his/her obvious movements cam kicks blom rasa laa.. hopefully soon!! ;) thanks again ALL...
ariba, yesss! sgt excited & eager tunggu dia kicks!! :D
apash & misbehave, thanks ladies! tu larr.. excited nih.. thanks ya! :)
amie! rasa dah tau laa.. tp doctor kene reconfirm again la nnt.. hehehe..
shu twinx!! dlm hati pun dok pilih private gak.. ekekeek.. tp byk la ongkosnyaaa.. uhuk! insyaAllah... ;)
it's a great feeling when the baby starts kicking.. but it really hurts at the end of the thrid trimester.. xkesahlah kan, it's good to know that the baby is active! happy "feeling" it! don't forget to video n take pix when it moves into funny shapes and mengeras.. mmg unbelievable!
