Movements

I knew I needed to blog about this, because one day I will want to remember, just like I recently flipped through Mali's baby book to read about her movements. This baby has been moving for a couple of weeks, but really little movements. It did start out like bubbles again, just like with Mali. Probably this last week (17 weeks), I've really noticed that it IS the baby. This baby does not seem to move as much as Mali, which could be really nice. However, I could also be too busy to really take time to notice it. Pretty much, if I'm still, I'm asleep! Also, the baby is really low and the movements, right now, are really low. Another thing I've noticed with this baby, is that (wait just felt a little movement, how funny!!!) is that if I try to sleep curled up, I feel it moving. So, my perception of this (that I shared with Eric) is that to me it seems that the baby is almost saying "give me some space mom, don't cramp me!" Which, would be a baby more like its momma that needs her space. Mali does not need her space and from the beginning in the womb, was constantly moving and touching me. She is the same way now. I love my cuddle bug in Mali, but I wonder if this baby will need its space a little more! The countdown is here for our next sonogram ( 8 days), and when we find out the gender of this baby. We are ready to know, or think we are ready to know!:)
