Baby's movements!!!

So I'll be 19 weeks tomorrw and for about a week and a half I have been feeling baby's movments.  Though they don't feel like what other people describe them to be(fluttering).  I feel them to be a definate poke, I can even feel it through my belly.  It's a pretty amazing feeling, however, baby doesn't move when dh put his hand on my belly, which kind of makes me sad, but up until a few days ago the baby would only move here or there, now it's every night before I got to bed, or when I wake up and am laying in bed.  LoL some nights I can't sleep because the baby keeps kicking me which makes me not able to find a comfy spot in the bed, oh well I guess that's what they are suspose to do.

How exciting! I'm like you and did not really feel any fluttering.  I wonder if it is because it's my first and I missed them?  But I have been feeling the "pokes" for a good 3 or 4 weeks now.  My husband has been able to feel them too but it took some patience at first.  Now I am getting to know his pattern and it is similar to yours: before bed and early morning.  I woke dh this morning at 6:30am because he was really active and I knew he would be able to feel him.
Congrats and enjoy!

It is amazing, i feel pokes all the time.  This baby is very active. This mourning baby moved so i pushed my belly a little bit then baby moved again and stoped so i did it again then baby moved again, it was just amazing.

Aw! congrats!! It's the best feeling in the world! This is my second and I have been feeling movement for 3 weeks now, but the past 4 days I could feel pokes, not just flutters. I could even see my belly move. I told hubby to look at my belly and the movement stopped! lol. This happened with my first as well. It's kind of amusing. But enjoy those movements!! They only get stronger from here. =)
