Baby Week 25 - Dancing Baby!
October 3, 2008
In my first pregnancy, Xander moved in what I would have called a typical manner - he would kick occasionally throughout the day, and have hiccups once in a while, but there would be hours at a time where he would be resting peacefully in utero - sleeping, floating, whatever babies do in there. Once he came out and started to gain control of his limbs, Zach and I often described him as in “constant motion” - he never stops moving until he falls alseep. We marveled at the amount of energy this kid has.
So, now onto pregnancy number two. This baby moves ALL THE TIME. Not an hour of the day goes by without some kicks and wiggles. Sometimes they are strong enough to take my breath away. I’ve actually learned to fall alseep to the lighter kicks, because he kicks all the time. I’ve noticed a few bouts of hiccups, but mostly it’s just wiggling and kicking. I think my voice and my movement used to lull Xander to sleep, but not this one - he stays awake through all of it. And if Xander was a constant motion kid with the more average amount of movement in the womb, and he is a “constant motion kid” what will this one be like? At least Xander slept for significant amounts of time, and wasn’t a bad sleeper when he was an infant. I know there isn’t any way to predict it, but it worries me that this little guy doesn’t sleep for long periods of time yet…
Wow…how crazy to have this little guy in there kicking and moving around…I have to say I am looking forward to this experience…Love the pic of the dancing baby! Where ever did you find that? Take care and be well…
