I finally took a long awaited bath... of course a warm not hot bath. But after five minutes I was draining half the water out to add cold water.
While I lay, gently splashing the cool bath water I could feel someone waking up and moving around. His movements were so hard I could see my belly move. I put my hand on the tummy and waited for each kick. I could feel them on the inside and the outside!
I am almost certain now that the "gas or kick" is actually a kick. Looking back two days ago while the nurse and I were listening to his heartbeat he was active and kept moving in and out of range. Then he made a "surface" kick at the device she was pressing into my belly. She saw it! I felt the same jabs and kicks laying in the tub. It's early to be feeling him on the outside, but I'm not surprised!
Now everyone can have a good reason to put their hands on my belly. But good luck, it's not often his up and about...he's quite the napper!
