I'm 21w4d and the babe was doing flips in there or something tonight and I felt her from the outside. I hollered for DH and he came and felt for a while. He kept saying he didn't feel anything and then she did a big ol' kick and his face lit up - he felt her!

: She kicked a few more times for him before settling down for a while.

I love this part!

That's awesome! My husband never was very interested in feeling the baby, it was always such a disappointment to me becuase I thought it was so cool. He's one of those guys who isn't really that excited until the baby actually arrives.

Very exciting!

I'm 20 weeks now, and have been feeling the baby move for the last couple of weeks. My husband has told me several times that he's a bit jealous and really wants to feel some movement too! There's only been a couple of times when I thought if he had just happened to be connecting with my belly at that exact moment, that he might have been able to feel something. So hopefully in the next couple of weeks the movements and kicks will get strong enough that he can feel them from the outside and not feel so left out on the fun!

How exciting! I have an anterior placenta, so even at 22 weeks, it's not often my DH gets to feel baby move. He's always asking to try and is super excited when he feels her in there. I love this time, too!

I also have an anterior placenta so it was fun to get to feel her rolling around cuz I was feeling bummed about missing it.

I told DH that he would have to keep his hands on my belly and be patient if he wanted to feel. Hopefully he'll do that one of these days. I don't think he believes me that you can feel it from the outside because everytime I ask him to try nothing happens. Argh!!!

DH felt him last week when I was almost 21 weeks!!! It's so cool!

My dh felt this baby for the first time this week - actually I think it was the same day as our U/S so he was so excited to feel our son moving around. It is so cool. I know it happens to people everyday, all over the world, but I'm continually amazed by what a miracle it is that we can experience the joy of having a baby growing inside us! So cool!

So it happened last night! I was feeling fairly continuous movement in one spot just as we were getting into bed, so I had my husband put his hand there. It took a minute, but one strong kick or punch and he felt it! Subtle still, but he could tell there was a baby in there. This is so cool!

My dh felt the baby move tonight too. Yay!

Crashing from May, that is so exciting! I remember when my DH first felt the baby, he was soooooo excited.
