I'm 18 weeks now, and am fairly certain we have detected fetal movement. With my last, i felt a very strong kick at 16 weeks and felt her unmistakable strong movements from then on, but with this one, i was a little unsure. At 16 weeks, i started to feel the flutter so many mothers-to-be talk about but got nervous because i couldn't feel the hard kick.
I had an ob visit today and heard the heartbeat, and the little one moved for us while listening which confirmed my fluttery feelings as movement and not gas. Tomorrow i have the ultrasound to ensure there are no extra limbs and will will avoid finding out the sex just like last time.

That is too exciting - that's one thing I miss about being pregnant; that jolt you get as you're reminded that there's a human being inside of you. I did think of the movie "Alien" quite a bit. Sounds like everyone's doing well.
I don't know how people can stand not knowing - I had to know as soon as I could! (No self-control...)
*crossing fingers for no extra limbs* :-)
I see you're trying to win an appointment with my sister...
It's so fun and interesting when you can start feeling the baby. I swear with B-chan that I could feel him at around 12-13 weeks. Maybe I was imagining it? With A-chan, it was more like 18 weeks.
