This girl is really active. Squirming around and actually making my belly visibly shake.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
It is a bizarre feeling. And the first time I felt her move viscerally, and I mean that in the literal and physical way, the feeling was so creepy! I had been readying myself for sleep and was lying on my side, my hand on the side of my belly that was on the bed\u2026 when what I felt was like a worm wiggling inside my body! The sensation lasted only for about a half second but it startled me. Previously the girl would tap around in my belly. That <\/em>tapping felt cute. This <\/em>feeling was not quite as cute. I immediately panicked and called out for W and grasped his hand for support. He was out cold (the couple of scotches probably knocked him out) as he breathed deeply and peacefully with nary a concern for what I was experiencing. That guy. =)<\/p>\n\n\n\n Now I\u2019m a bit more used to the sensation but it is still weird.<\/p>\n\n\n\n We bought a dresser for the little one (maternal grandparents funded!) and W has been hard at work assembling it. We\u2019ll be checking out car seats and getting our carpets cleaned soon. Paternal grandparents are helping us with a purchase of a larger car. I feel spoiled and am amazed at our combined family\u2019s generosity. How fortunate we are to be gifted so lavishly. Hopefully we have a lot to celebrate in our future \u2013 we are all preparing ourselves for this new little one!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" This girl is really active.
