Baby Sush (soosh) is moving! With my first pregnancy I was was one of those lucky women who got to feel the baby move very early, at about 14 weeks. I didn't know what it was at first but I remember telling Seb that I felt like a giant snake had done a slithery roll in my stomach and I added "I think it was the baby!" It was weird but it was an amazing experience.
This time around it's phenomenal though. It's only 12 weeks and the little flutters are undeniably her/him (okay we want to say her here let's be honest). In fact I think if I had been more aware in my first pregnancy I would have been able to know what the early flutters were early on and it wouldn't have taken a "python roll" to get me to notice the baby.
If there was any doubt in my mind, yesterday I went to get my teeth cleaned and she went crazy fluttering around. Whirrrrr...bzzzz, all that noise echoing through my throat and she was jumping around like a mexican bean. I remember Little S doing this at a dental cleaning when I was pregnant, long into the fifth or sixth month. It must be very scary for them because who knows what it must sound like for them way down there.
I don't know why I get to feel my babies so early but I consider myself very lucky. It's at that point in the pregnancy where the bond becomes clinched and it's not to say it doesn't get clinched early on but it makes the little person seem more like a part of the family and less like a blurry ultrasound blob.

Every once in a while, I still have dreams that I can feel my baby moving. It's an exciting time.
Chris - that is so exciting! I felt this little one move at 14 weeks as well. With Ben, I was much further along! Like you said, I had no idea what i was feeling with the 1st one. I got a pretty good kick at 14 weeks with this little guy. :O) Its so exciting to feel movement! We are so lucky!
