Quickening refers to the first time a pregnant woman can feel her baby moving in her uterus, and it can typically be felt around 14-20 weeks gestation. Lanugo and vernix are both substances that cover the baby's skin during development and are not related to fetal movement. "Butterflies" is a colloquial term for the fluttering sensation that some women feel when their baby first starts to move, but it is not a medical term.
