Kelly and I feel a little stupid...We go for our checkup and the doctor says: "Oh yeah, she's definitely head down."
We read our books and they say: "You should be able to tell if it is a knee, or an elbow, or a foot you are feeling." In fact, the book said we should have been able to figure it out a few months ago.
We still have no clue what we are feeling. We just know it is freaky!!! At least, that's my opinion of it. I think Kelly is used to it by now.
Tomorrow is Kelly's first official day off work while we wait for the little one to arrive. Finally, she'll realize how hard it is to stay home and slack during the work day. We have hundreds of channels on the TV, and it takes some serious effort to find anything worth watching between 10am and 4pm. Hopefully I'll start getting some sympathy around here!
In the meantime, she'll be giving the Yoga ball a test run. Bouncing on the ball was the one sure thing to keep my nephew happy when he was little. As it has been in storage for a number of years, we wanted to make sure it still "worked" before we have a baby in our arms. (And yes, I sat on it before I let Kelly give it a go.)
I never knew what part of O's body was poking out. No matter what, I said he was kicking me. Even at 9 months, when there is no physical way he could get a foot out in front of him...I assumed it was his foot.
ReplyDeletePS. I thought the freakiest thing was when Owen was born and I realized HE was inside me that whole time. I also only pictured this alien-fetus thing...when an actual baby came out, it freaked me out.
ReplyDeleteThe strangest comment I received was from someone at a UPS store when I was sending Christmas presents. She said she saw my baby moving - "is that the elbow" she said - I had no idea. It hurt, does that mean it is the elbow? And why are you looking that closely at my belly? Seriously.
