Milestone: 

Felt my first baby movements which they call “quickening” at 18 weeks and 4 days. At first it felt like gas but then nothing happened. I later felt it again as I was laying down reading in bed. Right now it just feels like a very light tapping and is so unbelievably amazing. Since it happened I can feel it pretty regularly when I’m laying down and paying attention! 

   Reading to baby boy before bed 

Some teachers and parents have finally started “wondering” and asking if I was expecting. Coach Jenn’s bump is out and about! 
  

…until next time
