Baby punched me

I haven’t been able to feel the little lady kick and move as much as I’d *like* to. Source [CRAZY pic!!] It may take more time (? I’m almost 22 weeks), but everyone keeps asking me, “Are you feeling lots of kicks?!” “Yes! I love it!” Ehh, not really. I’ll feel little butterflies and pops,…
