Quickening

Even though my placenta isn't in the most ideal location, I have started to feel Sunny moving! It started last week and now it's happening more and more. It's an odd sensation - like someone is tapping my insides. It happens right where her feet are, so I assume it's her kicking her little legs. After seeing Sunny in the ultrasound, Brandon and I got concerned at how little space she has to move around. He hopes she doesn't get claustrophobic like her daddy. I worry, too, so it's nice to feel her moving. It gives me peace of mind and it's fun. It's like I have a little buddy hanging out with me all the time. I felt her when we were at the movies watching Iron Man this weekend. Looks like we have ourselves a superhero fan. Adorkable!

A couple days ago I got a kick to the ribs; actually it felt more like pushing for more room (like saying, "HEY! I WANT MOO ROOM TO FLAIL!"). It's hard to imagine my belly growing enough to add 3-5 pounds onto this kid, more than doubling his size. S-T-R-E-T-C-H. I just hope it goes back when he's out :)

I feel the same way - how the heck can I fit another 5-7 pounds of baby in my stomach? Guess we'll be finding out!
