Re: Wednesday Ticker Change - 1/18
Rant: Maternity leave in the US is a joke. I could go into detail, but I don't want to get myself all fired up about it again, haha.
Rave: Yesterday, I asked DS if I could have a kiss (he normally will blow a kiss to you), and he came over and gave me a giant, open mouth kiss right on the lips. It was so precious that I didn't even care about the fact that he has a cold. And then he kept giving me smooches all over my face and it was just the cutest. I love that kid, and he's in a stage where it seems like he's learning something new every day and it's just awesome. AND when we went to his 18 month well-check last week, we learned that he's stacking blocks at a 2 year old level...such a ridiculous thing to have a "proud momma" moment about though, haha.
@jdupree15 My OB hasn't asked me about doing kick counts yet but I'm sure it's coming. I've tried it a bit on my own. I agree that it's not worth obsessing over (because as you said baby could be sleeping or in a position where you can't feel his/her movement as much), but I guess it helps establish a baseline so you know if there's a significant deviation from normal?
I'm learning how to be more honest with others without being too harsh. I had trouble confronting people about issues that needed to be discussed because I would come off as too harsh or cold. I think of it as matter-of-fact, but it doesn't always translate well. I have shied away from really being honest for a long time, but with some help over the years, I'm finally comfortable with communicating and connecting with people. I finally feel like I'm able to have genuine conversations and growth from them, and I hope the people in my life feel the same way.
@schef070911, I'd say yes, that's normal to feel more movement in a concentrated area as they get bigger and run out of room. I was feeling mostly movements on my left side and at my last sono the doc confirmed that she was curled with her spine and butt to my right side and her feet were where I was feeling the most movements.
Lately though I feel like she is doing full body stretches cause i'll feel what feels like head butts to my cervix or something and pushes up high on my belly near my ribs at the same time. Holy moly child!
