Shooting after pregnancy - don't forget about the lead. Make sure to scrub up good and/or use lead free ammo. Don't want the littles picking it up off your skin.
@DunkinDecaf Not sure I can trust you anymore ETA- I watch tv to fall asleep so that concept is beyond me!
Haha to be fair I’m watching a pretty plot-heavy show right now. I have to pay attention to it and be invested. My brain doesn’t have the energy for that most of the time lately. I need to power down pretty much right after the kids go to sleep.
I felt one of the babies!!! TMI but it was after sex and I was laying down and DH was getting dressed and turned to say something and We both saw a little bump in my belly and it was so cool!!! I'm so glad he's least saw it, he's been wanting to feel them. Now I'm more certain what I've been feeling is babies
@jennybean80 yup been having those for a while- not complaining
@rc-cola I've been feeling him for over a week now, but my husband finally felt him kick last night. Baby boy goes wild for chocolate milk, it's the cutest
Speaking of sex dreams...last night I tried some things in my sleep I never have in real life. It was great! Then a C-130 crashed right on top of the house next to us and some guys from the plane set up a Gatling gun and started unloading on us. Weird.
i'm finally feeling baby move in there! took me a while because i was waiting for the bubble-popping feeling, but to be honest it feels more like there's a goldfish in there (disclaimer: i'm a weirdo), just really soft, fluid motions.
Today was a big day!!! We made a final decision on our doula, I found out I have enough paid time off to cover hopefully my whole maternity leave, AND I finally think I’m starting to feel baby move around in there! Still hard to distinguish what exactly it is, but I’m feeling a bunch of different sensations today I haven’t felt before and it’s so exciting!!!!
@nikimelon I think a swimming goldfish is the most accurate description I have heard! I keep saying that it feels like waves of water, but the goldfish is definitely more accurate. That or being flicked from the inside!
Add me to the sex dream train! Also had a dream I was dating Chris Hemsworth. I was very mad when I woke up from that one. But before he popped up, I had some weird dream where my leg hair had grown so long that I had to wrap it around my ankles. I think that's my brain telling me to go get waxed.
@krzyriver a few weeks ago, I had a dream that my stomach got so hairy, like really thick dark hair, but soft kind of like a cat belly. I was trying to shave it and it was so thick. Hilarious and weird.
@jemmerjams - I totally wish I could guarantee a delivery date - at least lock in a window +/- 2days around EDD. Yes - I know I could schedule a c-section or induction- I’m not talking about that. I just want baby to be punctual!!
19+4 and I officially can't lay in my back any more. I get short of breath and a little dizzy. Ugh, it's been the only way I've been able to sleep these past couple months.
@SawyerRichardson lay on your back but put a body pillow along one side of your body running length wise. This will cause enough tilt most times to take the pressure off and not cause the dizziness and shortness of breath and still feel mostly like you are on your back! Edit for spelling
Umm so baby boy was tickling my cervix just now! Such a strange sensation. Made me giggle and jump a lot! DH started yelling at the boy to stop trying to turn on his mama hahahah

@chyvie It's SUCH a weird feeling. My kiddo does the same to me in the morning and snack time in the afternoon. It's bizarre, but definitely not a turn on.
Two achievements in one night! I am now watching the boy kick me from the outside and when I rub my belly he kicks back! It's like we are communicating. Such a cool feeling.

@sammierose464 I ate three cookies and then lay on my back propped up with a pillow behind my lower back so my belly is kind of sticking out. Watching TV and noticed the movement was stronger than before so I lifted my shirt. Hopefully you can feel him soon! I thought my padding was going to protect him more too .

I can no longer reach far enough into DS’s crib to lay him all the way down. The belly is too smooshed against the rail. Guess I’ll be putting him down sitting up now.

I don't even think this is a pregnancy achievement, it's like a lifetime achievement.
