Whoa, Baby!

In the last couple of weeks, Baby has been increasing movement and strength by leaps and bounds!  The days of popcorn popping and butterflies fluttering are nearly gone, and now when I feel Baby a few things happen: either I see my stomach move! or I feel something powerful that makes me envision a punch, kick, or flip! 

I love feeling all of this and really like having others feel it, too.  When it happens at school I want to share it with all of my friends, but I'm usually too busy to notice it at an opportune time.  Speaking of sharing, I'm surprised by the lack of random "pets" I get on my belly- lol.  I really thought more people would be reaching out, but it's really only Mom and my good friend Kasandra- who's baby boy is part of the reason that made me really want an itty bitty finally, too. :) 

Well, me and the little kicker are going to relax for the rest of the night.  Saturdays have been really hard for me to use productively, unless I have something specific planned, because the work week has been leaving me totally burnt out and exhausted.  School is going well overall, just third trimester exhaustion is definitely making it all seem a bit longer.  I am only hoping this is normal and that I'm not some pathetic bump on a weekend log!

Thanks for reading- more picture updates to come soon. : )
