have you *seen* the kicks yet?

Just wondering how many of you have reached that fun/freaky stage. :) 

I was sitting on the couch last night watching my belly and I could see it popping with little kicks and moving when the baby moved. Not the really big movements yet, but I know those are coming, lol.

I have seen that "popping" going on!  And that's the perfect word for it too.  Just last night as I was sitting in bed reading, the book nearly jumped off of my belly!

I've seen my belly make small twitches with the big kicks and punches. I have an AP, so baby's gotta punch REALLY hard for me to see movements. I am very anxious for this stage though. DH has no feeling in his hands so he can't feel LO moving, so we are waiting impatiently for him to be able to see LO moving.

I have noticed this for the past couple of weeks!  It's so cool.  If I lay back when she's really active, I can see my belly jump when she kicks.

We have, and it's hilarious to see SO's head jump up when he's cuddled up, head on my belly. He gets punched in the cheeks daily now!  Even our family has seen the pops and twitches, which usually only happened at night, but now he seems to be getting stronger, and a lot more active during daytime. I love the feeling!

Awww! Being that we are adopting this baby, no. Haven't seen/felt anything, but she has felt them. Can't wait until I can actually feel it!!! 

I am very sensitive to her & know I would hate to have my belly touched, so I don't do it to her, but I want to SO BAD! I am hoping that she'll give me permission soon :)

Nope, not yet - that usually doesn't happen for me until the third trimester. I've just recently started feeling the kicks with my hand - before that, they were too light for me to feel anything but little thumps and flutters.

I've seen a few small ones here and there since about 20 weeks. At around 25 weeks (currently 27) I started to really see them when the OB nurse was looking for the baby's heartbeat. The baby kicked the microphone(?) a few times, I couldn't help but laugh!

Yay for you!! I was able to experience this the day before yesterday and I texted hubby immediately! So yesterday I was able to let him see it! He was excited bc he hasn't  been able to feel the kicks yet( I guess they aren't strong enough to feel from the outside).Its our first baby:-)

Yes! I saw my first outside kick on the morning of the 10th (my 28th bday!), so that was a very special moment/present to me!!! I haven't seen one since, though lol
