Baby likes World Cup too???

The past few days after ten, when I settle on the couch to watch the night's matches with hubby I sometimes feel uncomfortable. I feel spasms of discomfort on the lower abdomen every few minutes. And last night, as I touch my stomach to smoothe the pain I felt my abdomen rock hard at one particular spot. Seconds later, the hard spot has moved a couple of inches away but unmistakably there. I quickly consulted my mom, and she said its probably the baby and I have begun to feel him. I think my eyes widened in incredulity and my mother laughed looking at me. I mean can it be true? Can I feel the baby already? It could be wind, no?

I think I'm relatively still in the early stages of pregnancy. This Friday I'll be 16 weeks only (4 mths) Can you actually feel the baby move yet at this stage? Its so exciting but quite overwhelming, I must say. These may be completely psychological, but when I soothe my hands over my abdomen and talk gently to my baby, he tends to settle down. It works even more wonders when its hubby who does the soothing. He not only calms the baby down but me too. The baby seems to be particularly active during the time I am watching the matches on tv. Hubby seems to think his child is as excited as he is about the World Cup. As if!!!!!
