Being pregnant, I often feel alien. I don't know that I'll every fully comprehend the fact that there is something living and moving around inside of me. This weekend marked another alien moment - you can now SEE Baby S move by watching my stomach. There are ripples that physcially move. It is incredible. I scream every time it happens and easily get distracted by watching my belly move in waves.
I can sort of get the baby to do it on demand too using a little move I like to call Mommy's Funhouse. (OH MY GOD - Yes, I am this weird). If I use both of my hands to gently bounce on my stomach while I am lying on my back, usually the baby will start to move pretty soon after. I like to think that Baby S is bouncing around in one of those moonwalk funhouse things that were really fun as a kid (but probably really dangerous).
You think what you do to the baby inside is weird...just wait until you find yourself talking crazy and having an out of body experience thinking, "am I REALLY saying this to my child?"
ReplyDeleteThis morning:
Ali: (singing to the tune of Lullybye and goodnight) "Did you POOOOP? Did you POOOP? Change your DIIIIAPER todAAAY! Did you POOOP?" and so on...note--this happens every morning.
Miles: "Daddy." "Mommy." "Poop." "Potty." (repeat 3x).
Ali: "Yes, Miles. Mommy and Daddy poop on a potty. Why don't you try?"
Miles: "No. All Done."
Your Mommy's funhouse is just the prologue to the BEST TIMES EVER! It's not that your weird--it's that your primed to be an AWESOME MOM! I love these little anectdotes--keep 'em coming.
Hehehe...laughing to both your post and Ali's comment!
