For the past three full moons, our child has been extremely active, way more than other days of the month (which are already filled with plenty of big moves). We’re talking 24 hours of nonstop movements the day leading up to full moon (which is tonight at 3am). I have always been very affected by the full moons myself and it seems like our baby is too 🌕
The video above is from 5am this morning. Baby was moving like this for an hour straight. I didn’t care that I wasn’t able to fall back to sleep cause this is just so fascinating to me. I have a tiny little person somersaulting and karate kicking inside me, how cool!
I didn’t want to wake my husband or puppy so I put the flashlight on my phone on and hid under the covers (hence why the video isn’t the greatest) and just stared at my bellyđź’•
The baby has been moving since I got out of bed except for maybe 20 minutes while we had lunch. It’s crazy and I can only imagine how busy we’ll be once baby is out hahah. I have tried to film my belly for months but the bigger movements like above are usually only in the middle of the night when I can’t see it, so I’m happy I got some good footage (or good, I don’t know, it’s from under the covers and I’m lying on my right side).
I showed Jim the video (which is 6 minutes long) when he woke up and he asked me how it feels. It’s really hard to explain, but I said that if I take like the backside of a toothbrush and poke the inside of his mouth so the cheeks would move, then kinda like that but 10x more plus he needs to roll his tongue at the same time. Hahaha, what a weird image.
A couple of years ago we had a neighbor two doors down who had a surprise baby! Ya, you read that right, a surprise baby. She and her soon-to-be husband was at the gym downstairs and suddenly she “peed” her pants. They went back to their apartment where she started to have “stomach pain”. Eventually the pain was so bad that her fiancĂ© took her to the hospital. They found out that she was eight months pregnant and in labor. She had no idea. Jim and I have been thinking about them lately. I just don’t understand how she could not figure it out, did the baby not move? If I didn’t know I was pregnant and suddenly something is moving inside of me, I would freak the heck out hahah. She gave birth to a beautiful healthy baby boy. Shortly after he was born they moved to a house and we haven’t seen them since. I hope they are doing well.
