Baby Kicking🥰 Question

So, no one told me feeling your baby kick is truly amazing. They all complained about how the bladder kicks hurt, and how it keeps them up at night. I’m 22 weeks and 3 days pregnant and for the past 2 days lil man has been moving like crazy. It no longer feels like gas bubbles, you can see it! And my boyfriend can feel it too! Which, I thought didn’t happen until closer to 30 weeks but hey, I’m not complaining! It made it so much more real! I’m so thankful. I never thought being 18 and pregnant would be the best thing that’s ever happened to me, but truthfully it is. And if I could go back I’d do it all over again. I’m excited. I’m not scared! I’m ready! But with all that being said, do I need to start counting kicks now? Or wait until the doctor says to? And also, what should I expect from here on out? Should I already be preparing my hospital bag just to have it ready since I’ll probably forget about it because I have so much other stuff to do? It’s flying by, not one week has went by slow, it feels like I just got a positive pregnancy test! Guyyysss I’m sooo excited. Im ready to be a mommy.
