I am 99.9% confident that I am feeling this baby move around already! I am measuring ahead of schedule, so right around 15 weeks currently. It is so neat to think that I can feel our baby....it is kind of like the start of our relationship! At first I was very hesitant to think that is what I was feeling but here is part of an article that I read from a very reputable source:

Some moms can feel their babies move as early as 13-16 weeks from the start of their last period. These first fetal movements are called quickening and are often described as flutters. It may be difficult to determine whether this feeling is gas or your baby’s movements, but soon you will begin to notice a pattern. First-time moms may not feel these movements as early as second-time moms. Some moms, especially those in their first pregnancy, may not feel movement until 18-20 weeks. Remember that each woman and each pregnancy is different, so you may not feel movement as early as another woman. There is a broad range of when the first detection of movement can be felt, ranging from 13-25 weeks.
