Sometimes my brain just goes on autopilot. Today’s movement from baby girl has been much quieter than yesterday and the past few days, so of course half of my brain is fretting. But then the other half is like, Dude, she’s kicking you RIGHT NOW. She’s fine. She’s just down lower.<\/i> And suddenly I feel kind of foolish because, umm yeah, she’s definitely kicking, and she’s definitely kicking down low. So no belly dancing tonight, she’s too low for that. Disappointment, yes – I do love to watch how strong she’s getting. But, umm, she’s still very much alive in there.<\/p>\n
I do have to say that she is normally only active when I am sitting or laying and relaxing. Which means that if I’m out and about, working late, at meetings, out to dinner or whatever, I usually don’t feel much from her. I know this is normal. And yet there is something in me that just starts to get really antsy and I have to go sit or lay down somewhere until feel a kick. At least now she is getting more consistent, and stronger so that I can feel her more often. A few weeks ago I used to just sit and wait, feeling snappish when people (even the hubby) interrupted me for whatever reason. I just wanted to sink into myself, motionless, until I got a little flutter as an answer back. Then I could get up and rejoin the world.<\/p>\n
I am very thankful this is an active baby. Well, until she kicks my bladder. Then I am thankful… and wishing she had worse aim.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
