BK Kicks (by Jenn)

Little BK kicks like a maniac. I was blessed by having an "early kicker." BK started kicking way earlier than all of the books said. Books say around week 18-20 you will start feeling regular kicks. I felt the first kick at week 14, and it has been pretty regular for some time now. Last night was a big night for BK though. I think he had the hiccups because I was feeling movement about every 10 seconds that lasted for about 3 minutes. Then he started kicking and I could actually see my stomach moving! Rian wasn't home of course, and when he got home BK decided it was nap time. Also, last night was actually the first night where I couldn't go back to sleep because he was kicking so much. I think it was because I ate pretty spicy nachos for lunch and proceeded to have heartburn for the entire rest of the day until I went to bed.


What I have also noticed about his kicks, is that he kicks when he hears music of a certain type. I have been driving Rian's truck this week, and he had a rap/pop CD playing in his car. He kicked the entire time it was playing, so I changed the music and he stopped. I like to think it is because he likes rap, however I was telling this to some of my students today and they think it could be because he hates rap and is kicking trying to get me to turn the station. I guess we will know when the time comes.
