Killing Kickster

"What's that ?" I thought the first few times when my little genie started kicking me when I was about 20 weeks pregnant. The feeling was very unusual feeling like some gastric problem in the abdomen. The first few times I ignored it just thinking it was some gas movement but later I learnt that they were my baby's kicks. How unfortunate I was to miss my baby's first kick !

During my 20 weeks scan I was very excited to see my baby and also to know the sex of my baby. As I laid on the bed , my eyes were fixed to the screen . The technician applied some gel and started the scan. Oh my god the baby had grew so much since the last scan. I felt our baby was cramped in that tight little space within the uterus and was struggling to tear open the uterus. We could see the baby's movement which was constant kicking and punching. I was very happy to see that my baby was just like me restless and impatient. I thought " Oh love you are my photocopy". My husband also was present in the room and was sitting just beside my bed holding my hand. He was looking at the screen and looking at me alternatively to capture my expressions and my happiness. The technician started showing different views from different angles and simultaneously she was also measuring the organs sizes. When she showed the face , my genie immediately covered it with its limbs (my shy baby). Also my baby started covering its genitals hiding its sexuality. I was so surprised to see what all babies do inside the womb. With constant movements from the baby , the technician was finding it awkward to measure and to detect the sex of the baby. She finally said that it could be a baby boy but could not confirm it 100 %.

Soon after the scan , the following weeks , my kickster started his rigorous activity. Each week my baby boy has started kicking me more than the previous week. I can now feel the kicks very strongly. I can also sense my baby's turning his position. Every time he kicks I feel that some organ within me is going to pop out of me. Oh I just love this unusual feeling. My mum told me that this period of pregnancy is very special and pleasant when you can feel the baby's kicks. I often feel that my baby genie does not like me resting even for a short while. When I am working he is quiet within me but no sooner I rest on a couch , he starts waking me up , kicking me , punching me , probably even summersaulting ( or may be he is entertaining his tired mum) . Whatever the reason be , I wait for them, I adore them , I enjoy them and I LOVE them.
