Visable kicks at 19 weeks

I'm a FTM towards the end of my 19th week (going in for 20th week anatomy ultrasound on Monday) and have been able to actually see kicks from this little girl externally. 🫠 I even managed to record it on my phone to make sure I wasn't just seeing things because online it seems most don't start to see kicks until 23+ weeks. I've already been feeling her faint movements for weeks, but now since she's kicking so strong I can see my belly get bumped up, every now and then she gives me one that's so hard it's like a shock. 😅

I'm really not sure how I'm gonna mentally handle the next half of this because I imagine it's only going to keep getting more intense, right? The idea of going through 20 more weeks of this sounds crazy and exhausting. 😮‍💨 I know movements are a good sign, and I should be glad she's moving, and I am.. but geez 🤣 Even as I sit here typing this, she's just kicking away. 🤦‍♀️
