Womb Soccer

What the Hell is going on in my belly?!  It's constant movement, all the live long day.  This baby is doing some kind of Jujitsu mixed in with a Krav Maga move that makes my stomach look like a game AT&T park during a rousing bout of "The Wave."

I thought my panicked Googling days were over, but in this case I found myself checking the internet for things like, "overactive fetus" and "pre-natal ADHD."  This can't be right.  Can a fetus move this much in that cramped a space?  I'm just waiting to hear a "craaaa-aack" and a broken rib to protrude from my chest. This baby is trying to break out of the pokey a few months early.

And in other news:  No more midnight shows of Aliens for me.

From Speed Bump to Big Belly

The 23 week visit went relatively well...until doc told me I had had a "growth spurt" in the last month. Apparently I gained 5 pounds. My last visit I weighed in at a respectable 149. This visit, I tipped the scales at 155.

Coincidentally, this was also the week my cute bump morphed into an officially big belly. I now forage for clean maternity clothes anywhere I can find it in the house. The only criteria for wearing it is that it has to fit. It's a miracle I'm not a nudist at this point in my pregnancy.
