There is nothing I love more than feeling a little baby move, grow and kick inside of me. It is something that I missed so much when I wasn't pregnant. It truly is a miracle that a little human can grow inside me.
I love laying down on the couch and just watching my stomach twist and turn, seeing big and small bulges go up & down, in & out like its some sort earth quake forming mountains and hills in my tummy!
I think the coolest trick in the world is to place a book on my belly and watch it wobble until it is eventually kicked off by a future soccer player that is approximately 2-4 lbs.
I could sit all day and play the guessing game on what I think is the bum, and legs, arm and ohhh.. an elbow, knee, or foot that just I chased across my stomach.
I love it. I am one of those people who honestly enjoys being pregnant!
I do have to say though, this pregnancy has been very, very different than my experience with Kennedy.
Much like Kennedy's personality is now, she was very fun, and 100% enjoyable in the womb.
She would move a lot, almost like she was dancing. Very girly. Rarely did I have any painful experiences that I can recall and not one contraction/braxton hicks until she decided to come.
(given she was my first full term pregnancy so I didn't have much to compare it too)
But... Boy, am I excited to meet the little guy I have inside me now.
I wake up at least once a night to a karate kick to the ribs, or side. Some of them almost take my breath away.
If you press on my tummy at all, he will push right back. (& it's not always a soft push)
He will definately let me know if I have been sitting too long, or holding Kennedy too long. It's not too soon before she (& my side) get a few kicks until the pressure of her is gone! :)
I love it! I truly do!
He has been like this since I first started to feel little butterfly kicks.
Now that I am in my last month, he has decided that this crowded space is a bit much. He knows all my soft spots. He knows that the center line down my stomach where my abs once were are now split, and he just loves to push out as hard as possible!
I keep dreaming that he is going to burst through one of these times, a little hand or foot is going to split though my belly button!
Yesterday was a busy busy day for him. I think he is living life like a gerbil in a spinning cage and his is just going going and going. Spinning in lots of circles but staying in the same spot.
I have never felt this way before, I hurt. After about noon every move he made was painful. I think he bruised me internally :)
By the time Andrew came home and put his hand on my stomach I about flipped a brick! What the What!? I was tender on the outside, and inside.
So he had to settle with just watching the mountains move and bulge out of my stomach with his eyes, and listen to my moans with his ears :) I love him!
I have a feeling this kid is going to be an active one!
One thing I am extremely grateful for is I never go 5 minutes without feeling a distinct big movement. I know he is alive and that brings me a lot of comfort!
I can't wait to meet him! I am in shock that I have less than a month. Although at times I feel large and completely uncomfortable, I know that I will soon be missing all of this! From the karate kicks, and power punches, to the little hick-up jumps and tickling of the ribs. I know my lack of sleep won't be due to contractions, or uncomfortable positions, It will be soothing & snuggling a perfect little newborn.
Yes, you should be jealous!

Yes! You know I'm jealous - I know, I know already?! haha. I've been thinking about you tons lately, wondering how you were holding up, so thanks for posting. I'd call but its always so noisy here - I can never hear anyone on the other end of the phone!! Annoying. Well, keep him in there growing strong, but Gavin can't wait for his little buddy to get here. :)
love it! love cuddling a newborn...love feeling the painful kicks in the belly...love it all! Can't wait to meet him!!
Too cute, Sophie. You are a darling mom!
How cute are you. :) I love your positive outlook even though you are hurting, it is very inspiring. Isn't it amazing to have a baby inside!? What is your official due date? I swear I know like 5 people due at the same as us! So fun to be prego. :)
That's amazing you will have two! It is crazy to watch your stomach move all over the place!
you are one cute mama!!!
That is how Madison was. My little full of life never stopping little girl. Feeling the baby move in my belly is one of the best parts of being pregnant even if its not the most comfortable.
