This Baby Doesn't Take After Its Brother...
Looking back on my blog posts from 15-16 weeks with Benjamin, I read that he was flipping and flopping all over the place. This baby? I have only felt (I think) a handful of times, and most of it was REALLY early on. Now? Nothing... none of the crazy movement I felt with Ben.
I know the baby is fine because I can check in on the heartbeat and, like I said in a previous post on this topic, when I do that, I can HEAR it move and kick. Why can't I feel it though? I'd be lying if I didn't say it worried me a little bit... if for no other reason than it's not how I experienced things before.
Part of it could be that I don't really have the time to be still and quiet and concentrate on what is going on in there. With Ben, I sat at a desk all day and felt every little thing. I dunno...
I just wish the kicks would start!!

I have little pangs of ... something. It's not REALLY painful, but it's not pleasant. I don't know if that's the baby or not, but from what i read, a lot of people don't feel the baby until 20-22 weeks, so maybe you just won't feel this baby any sooner...who knows. But don't worry about it!! :-)
Erin,
Hate to say this but perhaps your tummy muscles are not quite as toned as they used to be. Thing of pounding a drum on a nice tight skin, think again how hard you would have to hit to get the same noise if the skin was slack.
I had better run away now quickly!

And maybe this baby is just not as active as Benjamin. This second one for me is not nearly as active as Rece was in utero and I am feeling the strong kicks now.
It would be pretty hard to have another human being be as active as Ben;-) Perhaps God is having mercy on you and giving you a chill little one. In the begining months of feeling Lily kick there would be long periods of not feeling much and then I would sit down and relax (every once in a blue moon) and then I would feel her. When I took a quiet bath away from everyone she would really let me know she was there.
When m #1 was in utero, he moved all the time. All day long, all night long. It was constant, and to this day he is on the go. Number two never kicked as much as M--to the point where I also worried--but even now he's a much more laid back guy.
