Still seems so unreal! (even with the nursery begining to take shape) 20 weeks! holy cow!
Side note -- I have an anterior placenta. I have been feeling the baby now since about 17 weeks, but somedays I feel her more than others. Right now, I feel her 4-5 times during the day and a lot more at night. At what point did you start feeling baby constantly? 24 weeks?

I don't believe that God ever tells us "no". he has three options. Yes, not right now, or I have something better in mind. We just have to wait & see.
Re: Half baked today! :)
Woot woot! Congratulations!
Ummm...I have lots-o-baby so they really started getting active around 21 -22 weeks, I think.
After 2+ years and multiple treatment cycles,
including an IVF vacation in Costa Rica/Panama,
IVF #2 brought us our miracle baby!
Surprise! Baby Boy is on the way!
Congratulations on being half baked!

congrats on a great milestone!
i have 2 babies, and baby a has an anterior placenta. for a while i could only feel baby b consistently, but then one day i felt baby a much more strongly. now i feel a waaaay more than b - her kicks are more powerful (at least i think, they are both head down so i could be mixing up whose kicks are whose). it took until the mid 20 weeks to feel them both constantly.

Such an exciting milestone! Congrats!!
I started feeling him a lot around 23/24 weeks.
How in the heck are you half baked??? I remember gearing up for your IVF and BFP. How unreal!!!
Congrats on making it here hun
As for movement: I have an anterior placenta too. I've felt a hint here and there (once every few days) since my 20th week, until today. Today is the first time I've felt him a majority of the day. We'll see if that happens again tomorrow.
Congrats!!
Sorry, I don't know about movement. I am not sure I have felt him/her yet, but I do have a doppler that I use a couple times a week, which is reassuring.

Baby N conceived after 1 miscarriage and more than 2 years of TTC. Diagnosis was low sperm count. We found success after 3 months of anastrozole to increase DH's testosterone and one IUI.
