Presh is growing so fast now! I can tell it is becoming a tight fit in there, because I can feel every little move it makes. Even if Presh is just moving an arm or rotating its body, I can feel it. I am often able to feel where the butt (or possibly the head) is-- most frequently cradled against the right side of my belly. Sometimes an elbow or foot presses out, making a very defined little lump beneath my skin. If I push on it at all, Presh moves away. It is so fun to already be interacting with our baby in this way.

It has also been very exciting to notice a few patterns that our Precious has developed. For instance, he/she loves music! Every time mommy sings, or there is loud music playing nearby, Presh starts dancing! I feel twisting, turning, kicking and wiggling!






Another new habit that Presh has adopted, which is not quite as pleasant, is kicking my bladder! Every so often, I feel an urgency to pee like I have never felt before. It lasts only an instant, but it is not a pleasant instant!

I am still having trouble sleeping through the nights, and have developed a dwindling appetite. I think my tummy is so full of baby, that there is no room left for my stomach, which means I don't feel hungry very often. After I eat, I feel extremely full no matter how small a portion I consume.
