Baby Mac has been super active this week. It seems the little guy is growing and growing out of room. I frequently get jabs under my ribs on the right. When I do, I try to elongate myself by stretching out and giving the little guy some more room. I'm also feeling and seeing a lot more movement in the middle area of my growing belly.
While talking to a co-worker Thursday, I grabbed at my belly as Baby Mac started to move. Glenda questioned, "Is he moving?" I replied in the affirmative. About 30 seconds later, she saw him move. I stood there with her a while as she put her hand on my stomach to feel the next movement. That night as I lay on the sofa resting, I called Dave over when the moving began. He patiently sat with his hand on my tummy and was rewarded with some movements. Then Dave pulled his hand away and sat to watch. In just a minute, he saw a big jab from Baby Boy.
Many mornings this week, I've laid awake in bed feeling the baby move about before I get up. Thankfully, his acrobatics have not yet woken me in the middle of the night. I know that time will come. My aching hip or shoulder is usually what wakes me up: I can't get comfortable sleeping on my side. I occasionally wake up on my back, so I'll roll to my side. When I roll over, Baby Mac has to reposition, so I typically feel him snuggling back into a comfortable position.
Thankfully the little guy has room to move around now. I know things are quickly going to get cramped inside of there.
