First Stretch @ Week 16

This morning..... the most amazing and wonderful thing happened....
My baby gave a big long stretch and i could feel a hard lump protruding !!

At around 230am, i was woken by what i though was a tummy cramp. When i felt my tummy, i was surprised to feel a hard lump at the right side of my tummy... it was a firm, palm-sized lump, and i could feel my tummy stretching.. I couldnt believe that it was my baby as i read that most 1st time mothers onli felt movement after 18-20 weeks, and i'm only at my 16th. After rubbing the "lump" for a few seconds while saying that i'm sorry baby must be very uncomfortable confined in such a small space, the lump slowly went down...

At around 530am, i was awaken by the same feeling and this time, the lump was to my left tummy. At this time, i was pretty sure that it must be my baby stretching. The feeling is so indescribable and the first thing i did was to call out for my baby... (the big one), my hubby.

I told a half-awake hubby what happened and he was laughing excitedly.. we were both very amazed that our baby is strong enough to give such a long and hard stretch !!! I'm really looking forward to more kicks and punches from baby :)

My pregnancy's been very "predictable"...
Whatever i read that may happen in a particular week, it will happen to me.
For instance:
1) Week 6 - Feel nauseas
2) Week 12 - Feeling of nausea will be almost gone
3) Week 13 - Energy levels will slowly increase
4) Week 14 - More transparent discharge and decreased frequency to urinate.
5) Week 16 - Skinny / non-first time mum will start to feel baby movements..

Which was why I was surprised to feel movement since i'm not skinny, and i'm a first time mum...
