I don't know if I've mentioned this, but I LOVE this stage of pregnancy. Not the part where my belly's getting so huge that I feel like if I have to bend over one more time, it's going to pop (I know I'm not that big yet, but it's still uncomfortable), or the times when my back just aches from nothing.
I love the activity. Pregnancy is really just a dream to me until I feel that baby move. Even morning sickness doesn't bring it home. That's just a 3-5 1/2 month long flu for all I know. Now that Little Gal has started physically making her presence known, I've enjoyed speculating on what that means about her personality. Such as:
She'll stop moving when I talk (especially when I'm asking Aaron or Eli to come feel her) = this means she's shy.
She moves a lot after I eat certain meals = I guess I have to notice what I'm eating more. She apparently either loves it or hates it.
She moves more first thing in the morning after the alarm goes off (she's better at getting up to it than I am) and late at night. = She's already got her schedule mixed up. Either that or she's supposed to have been born on the other side of the globe ;)
She likes my right side more than my left = she knows what she wants in life. OR my liver is just funner to kick than my spleen.
I talk to her. I apologize for squishing her as I bend over. It's just the funnest part of the whole thing. To feel the summer saults, the punches, kicks, hiccups... everything. So, while I grow bigger and bigger I will just have to keep reminding myself that this growth comes with the amazing gift of feeling life within me.
...and We're Back!

As I was reading your post I couldn't help but remember how each of my baby's seemed different. Maddelyn was for sure the mild mover. But then again there was way more fluid with her for some reason-she just had more cushioning I think.
that is awesome you are writing all this stuff down:) I bet you look so cute all pregnant!
Feeling the baby squirm around inside of you is one of the best feelings ever. I miss it :). Plus...I LOVE seeing pregnant women. It makes me feel so happy for them. So, I'm sending my happiness your way even though I can't see your cute pregnant belly in person. I'm so excited for you anyway!
I miss being able to feel Grant inside of me. It was such a cool feeling. I love that part of pregnancy too. I agree, pregnancy wasn't real for me until I saw the ultra sound when we found out he was a boy and then when I could actually feel him move. So awesome!!!
