We've started to be able to "watch" the baby moving around! I've had a number of times when, lying in bed reading a book or magazine that is rested on my abdomen, I feel the baby jolt and see the book or magazine "hiccup" into the air. Last night I started playing with the baby - I'll get to that in a moment. Suddenly we could see this little bulge migrate across my belly. Of course there was some comment about it being like "Aliens" - don't take offense, child!
So this is how I was playing with the baby. I had read that at this point the baby can be felt just by an examination of the belly. So I thought I'd give it a try. I started pushing on different areas of my stomach and suddenly I felt the baby move or kick. It was like playing hide and go seek with it. It was fun for a few minutes! I found that it seems to be easier to find at the top of my belly, rather than the bottom. At least last night that's where it was hanging out!
just checking if it works to leave comments or not
ReplyDeleteHey! I hope leaving a note works this time! That's so funny, and totally reminds me of Gideon. We would "play" all the time, and then with Anneke, she would have nothing to do with it. I could tell that she would get annoyed and not respond when I would poke at her (in fact stop completely if she had been moving previously). Funny, but life continues that way:)!
ReplyDeleteLove ya!
Don't forget to talk to him/her as you are playing. Even though it might be a muffled sound, I'm told the child will recognize the voice later.
