What kicking feels like.

I’ve had a few people ask me this.  It feels like the strangest thing in the world.  I felt my first kick at 15 weeks which according to the books is very early.  I am now 21 weeks and it is now much stronger.  At first it felt like flutters, now it is a clear movement.  To be bluntly honest it feels like gas moving down the tubes.  I get the strongest kicks when I lie on my back in bed.  Bizarrely when the baby starts getting hyper I just play Westlife or Boyzone and it calms down.  I still have 19 weeks left and I know that it will get much stronger.

My diet is improving… slowly but surely.  Ewan took me to the Beefeater for dinner.  I usually order the 8oz rump steak with chips.  I get the salad with it but NEVER eat it.  I know I should just say I don’t want it but I never do it.  Today I ordered the 8oz rump steak again.  Instead of chips I went for new potatoes and I actually ate the salad.  I loved it.  Much healthier.
