Oh, Baby4Us...a little girl!!
HOW EXCITING!!
Yeah, I would imagine at this point all the pieces and parts are in place! ;)
As far as movement and whatnot, I didn't feel a tremendous amount of movement in the last month or so...it did worry me, but OB said not to fret as long as there was something once a day.
I got the alien belly about once a day...just at the very end of my pregnancy...usually happened just after Oprah or just before the late news...and even then, I couldn't make out what part was making the movement...just saw some BIG thumps and swipes across the top of my uterus. I've heard women say that they would see hands and feet move across their bellies...I'm not sure I believe that you could actually make out the shape of a teeny tiny hand because that's a lot to push through. The big uterus muscle is a little stronger than the baby, so I wouldn't fret not having the alien belly. You've got to get way more cramped before you get the alien belly. It used to make my husband sick to his stomach to see it, which was a riot to me. I would sit on the couch in just my bra and pants and make him watch it. He's the fool here - he kept looking!! I couldn't get enough of it!!
So, don't worry if you don't feel baby move around as much in there now...you'll feel stronger movements, just not as frequent. You'll go once a week soon so you'll hear the heartbeat every visit...no need to fret.
I wanted to say thanks, too, for your kind words. I can't remember which thread they are on...you'll get Mommy Brain soon, too...but your kind words really meant a lot to me, so thank you. Thank you very much.
Glad to hear you're still feeling good and have fun girl shopping!!!
