Popcorn baby

So over the last few weeks the baby has been moving like crazy. I love it. It is so cool to be sitting there and then boom, kick to the side. Last night, instead of the nightly bathroom urge waking me up, it was baby movement that literally felt like a popcorn popper in my belly. I notice lots of movement at night, which I am hoping is NOT a sign that baby will be nocturnal once born!

Morning antics..

Try rationalizing with a 2 1/2 year old why a pregnant butt of 23 1/2 weeks cannot feasibly fit on a ride on toy suited for a toddler...good morning fun! Yes, Greyson wants me to "race" him on a ride on toy of his choice, all which didn't really fit me when I wasn't pregnant, but with this newly acquired figure, it sure as heck isn't going to fit me now!

Pumkin on the other hand has become increasing noticeably active. Sure he/she has been moving like crazy for awhile now, but now I can feel it in a noticeably regular pattern. Favorite times of activity are at about 8pm at night and then again when I lay down to go to sleep. If Greyson wakes up in the middle of the night or I get out of bed to hit the restroom, then I lay back down I also feel an active baby. Pumkin must be disturbed by this too. I just love feeling it. The real kicks, not the tickly movements. Brian hasn't tried to feel it yet, but he isn't really patient enough to feel it yet.

More U/S reckenoings

So I forgot to mention some of the u/s info...product of blogging when tired. I have been convinced that something is weird with this baby, in comparison to Greyson when it comes to movement. This baby just seems lazy. It appears the position has something to do with it, although all of the owt say that females are less active than males in the womb.

The tech told me that at this point, the baby is breech. Exact positioning being, head on right side, back across the belly and then has his/her feet curled up or more accurately hanging down into my girl parts. This explains my feeling that this baby just feels low. Pumkin's feet are just sitting on or sometimes tapping on my bladder and cervix. This also explain how the majority of movement I feel is tickly stuff...Pumkin's hands and only the kicking down real low.

The baby is definitely mine, it spent the entire u/s with it's hand over it's face, which is very often how I sleep, which is what Pumkin was doing as we interrupted the nap.

Pumpkin likes...

Mexican food, coke floats, and chinese.

A baby after my own heart...well at least with some of my food preferences. I noticed a lot of movement in response to eating these items while on vacation. The Mexican I think is the favorite of the list. It was that night, Tuesday, March 3rd, when I felt the first very distinguishable kick from the inside and out!

Active Baby

Well I am chilling out for the night, surfing for crockpot recipies to deal with my laziness and no desire to make dinner any night of the week...and I have about a cup of coke that Brian had left over from making his cocktail...and baby must be hit by the sugar and caffiene. All I can feel is a steady flutter in the belly. Feeling a little guilty that I buzzed the baby, but it is a really cool feeling to know that there is something below the girth which is becoming the baby bump.
