First off all I have felt my LO move ALOT this whole pregnancy.(well actuall kicks since the time your suppose to feel them) they have always been strong. I am very small. People still don't notice I'm pregnant half the time. Since last night it just feels like the baby is literally going to kick through my stomach! The kicks are so hard it almost hurts! Ive been told that I'll prolly make it to about 36 weeks due to how little I am, and now I'm starting to really believe them because I don't see how in this world he can get any bigger!!! Is anyone else feeling this way?
Re: Stronger Kicks!
I've had a few kicks that were painful and I did not think were so cute any more. They've woken me up a few times where I've thought, "I wonder if anyone's baby has ever broken through their stomach."
But now, I am noticing that while I'm feeling more movement, I'm feeling less kicks and more pushing, stretching, and general moving around. This baby is running out of room in his short-torso-ed momma pretty quick.Every once in a while I catch a pretty good kick or punch, but definitely not as often as even a couple weeks ago!
Oh, yes. Baby is sockin' it to me on a regular basis. He's very energetic in the morning when I wake up, mid-day, afternoon and when I'm on the couch at night. He loves to scraaaaape something down my lower right side. And as previous posters have written, he pushes his butt against my ribs which is really painful. He is POWERFUL. And it's only getting worse. I don't think he's stronger than most babies-I'm sure most babies kick the hell out of their mamas, but he is stronger than I ever expected. I think it's going to be so fun to watch him stretch and kick when he's on the outside!!
(I'm a glutton for punishment-the large carmel frappacino that I'm drinking right now is going to get him very worked up....)

OMG yes!
I was standing next to DH the other day saying how LO was super active...he didn't say anything, so I looked at him to see if he was paying attention to me and his eyes were huge.
He was seeing my belly roll and was like WOW! I think it was one of the moments where it hit him that he is doing to be a dad really soon...it was kinda cute, you know except for the pain of the stretching of my stomach due to no more room...So ready for my due date...if I make it that far.
