    DH first felt Bob two weeks ago today - so just before 18 weeks. We've been told we've got a VERY active baby though and I've been feeling him since 15 weeks so I think we were very lucky to have the movements so soon.

    Thomas felt his first kicks about a week ago (19 weeks). We'd just been wrestling each other to see who would get to the computer first (loser's prize was folding socks!!) so I think all the movement and excitement got little one all worked up too! I lay down on the couch (no way I'm folding socks!) and he was kicking like a karate champion and Thomas was lucky enough to feel a couple of really good ones! Usually though, as soon as Thomas puts a hand on my belly, he settles down!

    On the other hand, I've been feeling pretty good movements for about a month and flutters for a few weeks before that.
