Belly full of Wiggles

Last night when I was lying in bed, Andrew decided to float to the surface. He was right under my belly button, face up and flailing around. It was the creepiest thing ever.... hahah! There was so much motion that I was afraid to look. I thought I'd see something like this:Obviously, I wouldn't bc this picture is a fake but still. I put my hand over him and felt all 4 limbs moving at once. There were ripples and punches and kicks and he rolled over a few times...all under my hand. I actually felt his entire little body moving around. He's still so tiny! He barely weighs over a pound, according to THE pregnancy manual -



Book says I should really start expanding now since I'm in the last 4 weeks of my 2nd trimester. Yep, that's right, I've been pregnant for 6 whole months now. 3 full months and some weeks to go. Unless of course Andrew is one of those kids who refuses to come out and I have to carry him for 42 weeks before they'll hit me up with pitocin. But I hope that doesn't happen. My mom was induced with all 3 of hers so we'll see. I want to go into labor spontaneously, not because some Doctor drugged me into it. I mean heck, if I'm gonna be pregnant, I want to go all out and experience all of it. Now I'm not saying I want a natural delivery - no no NO! Hit me with the epidural! I just want to have the "Hey Babe, I think it's time" moment when you realize these aren't Braxton Hicks and little man is really on the way. But once I'm at the hospital? Yeah, stick that needle in my spine, please.

  1. I can't wait for a post about how your stomach looks deformed! It is crazy when you have a braxton hicks contraction and it gets all tight and funny looking. I am so happy for the both of you! Not too much longer!!!!

  2. I had no Braxton Hicks...at least I didn't recognize them if so. I was totally against being induced too. Why take the excitement out of it? And it was SO exciting when just after midnight of his due date, my water broke while laying prefectly still in bed. Seth and I were so elated and surprised. I HATE that since I ended up in C-section, I'm encouraged to have another c which means planning. I'm gonna fight for a VBAC hard core though. Stay strong. OH, and even though I went into labor on my own, when I got to the hospitol, they hooked up pitocin...it is the DEVIL. I wish I had told them NO. You can, it's your body!
