Observations on a TV pregnancy, or maybe I am ready to have this baby now

Last night Dale and I watched the second episode of Fringe.

I was JUST telling Emily the other night how I've never seen or felt a baby move inside it's momma's belly before. Ginky/Amy tried to show me once when she was pregnant with Evie, but no matter how many times she pointed it out the movement was so slight I couldn't see it :/

You should take a video of it and become one of the many women on youtube with freaky baby-moving-inside-me videos up there :D

Heh, I've thought about recording it. Ada can be amusingly elusive though. She'll be kicking away at the front of my belly like it's a trampoline, but as soon as Dale looks or puts his hand there, she's utterly still.

At the end of her last pregnancy, you could see my sister-in-law's belly moving from a good 10 feet away. Of course, that turned out to be an 11 lb baby! I've got the feeling Ada is going to be bigger than Livi was, since she's been feeling so heavy for a while, but I hope not that big!

Did you go check it out on youtube as I suggested?:P

[incognita]

Yes! It was creepy and cool at the same time!

oh, you can also be confident that the child you birth will be human and not some weird tentically creature (or whatever the hell it was) that was on the show. I walked in as Mark was watching the beginning and headed to my room as soon as the surgeon chick started screaming at what they'd pulled out of the dead girls uterus.

Do I know how to pick random TV moments or what? ;)

[monkeyjunkie]

Hahaha, actually, I don't know why the chick screamed. They made it seem like it was some sort of freaky monster baby, but from what was revealed a little bit later, it was just a human baby that grew abnormally fast. So fast, it grew to adult size and died of old age in 4 hours, umbilical cord still attached

yeah, what was that crunching sound anyway???

[monkeyjunkie]

I'm not sure, but I think it was her spine getting snapped.

I think I've started feeling hiccups now. Ian's already making jokes about this one busting through my abdomen..I know it's just going to get worse.

Sometimes I wish I could speed up the process, but not by that much:)

[monkeyjunkie]

Hiccups feel like you're having a muscle spasm/twitch somewhere in your belly. They're easy to notice once you pick up on how rhythmic the movements are. They can also be almost as annoying as having the hiccups yourself. ;)
