Baby Gymnastics

The coolest thing about being pregnant has been feeling this little peanut wiggle and wiggle. At my 20 week check up, the ultra sound technician even had a hard time getting her to hold still for long enough to get a good picture. After that appointment, I texted Morgan and told him that our baby was wiggly and stubborn (because she wouldn't move her hands out of her face). His reply was that she sounded like her mother! :) Since said wiggling experience, her wiggling characteristic have continued to become more and more prevalent. Morgan got to feel her move for the first time last week. She isn't very predictable as far as when she moves, unless she is feeling constricted. When constricted she kicks directly at the object/thing cramping her space. So, I laid on my side with the right side squished against the mattress. I then had Morgan put his hand under that side of my stomach. Per usual, after a couple minutes she kicked his hand (and the mattress). 

Now the reason I bring up all this wiggling is to say that every afternoon at work this baby has a dance party in my stomach. She just kicks away for a good hour or so and then is done for the rest of the day. It is the craziest thing. The other day I felt her wiggle all the way from one side of my stomach to the other and today she seems to be fond of kicking my organs instead of kicking out. I can't believe how much I can feel her and she is only 9 inches long! What's it going to be like in a few months when she is double that size! 

I think all this wiggling is the cause of some crazy dreams. Last night I had a dream that this baby kicked a hole through my stomach and was 'born' that way instead of waiting to be born traditionally. She was still adorable though, right down to having my husbands beautiful eyes. 

Crazy dreams, wiggles and all, we are still super excited that she is growing strong and healthy and we are getting more and more excited to meet her in December!
