Tater is getting much more active these days.  I have read so much about how it feels and that “it’s hard to distinguish from gas”.  So I have devised a method.  If I feel movement in the front below the belly button, it is deemed as being baby.  If it is anywhere else, it is considered “supporting systems”.  That’s my story, and I’m sticking to it. 

I have really only started noticing it more in the last few days.  We went to visit Johnathan’s Maw over the weekend.  One night, we were sitting in bed reading, and I felt something.  I tried to be very still so I could really concentrate, but my ADD kicked in and all I could pay attention to was my own heart beating in my ears (have I told you that if I stare at a blank wall I can see my heartbeat in my eyes?…crazy). 

Monday, during small group, I noticed it right after I ate and got settled into a comfy recliner.  I think it’s really neat because I am very aware of this little baby while everyone around me is oblivious.  Way cool!  Later that night, when we got into bed, I told Johnathan that it was moving.  He immediately put his hand on my belly.  He couldn’t feel anything so he pressed hard on the left side.  Then, I could feel it moving on the right so he tried over there.  Then, I could feel it moving on the left.  (Tater isn’t even born yet and already knows who to avoid.)  Then, he decided to press really hard on my entire belly.  I thought he was going to mash the pee out of me.  He said he could feel “stuff” but he wasn’t sure if it was gas or what.  But it was in the front, below the belly button so we all know what that means.
