OWWWWW!

I shut my eyes and try not to cry out, as Robert sleeps peacefully next to me. Baby is stretching right now, and man, it hurts! I just felt an entire foot push out of my skin — it feels like I have a lil alien inside me, trying to break free.

I still love it. Sometimes it just hurts.

What is Baby doing in there? Why is he pushing so hard? I remember a few months ago, the first time I started feeling him move. It felt like he was swimming and doing little flip turns in my belly. I said he’d be a great swimmer like my brother and his uncle. I am standing by this, with how hard he’s pushing now. I think our baby has incredibly long limbs and that he will be amazing at the push off streamline after a turn. We shall see!

This is making me realize I really need to practice my breathing for labor, though. It knocks the wind out of me when I get kicked so hard.

OW, what in the world?!?

Again, this babe is acting unhinged right now and I don’t know what he’s thinking, but I have a wild man on my hands right now and he’s not even here yet.

I need to sleep. Baby has something important he’s doing right now, so it may be a little bit until I can. Maybe he’s building his muscle mass or stretching to become a flexible dude. Any which way, this is uncomfortable, but I’m afraid I’m going to miss it so badly one day. This is just the beginning of motherhood.
