[heidizone] What happened was ...

35 weeks. You know you're getting big when your maternity shirts are tight. Allegedly, the Belly will soon be running out of room to move around so vigorously. I'll believe it when I feel it. Currently one of the baby's nicknames is Kick Kickington, the Mayor of Kick Town, aka The Mayor.

These are the main types of abdominal acrobatics: 1. Generic Kick. Single abrupt motion outwards by hand or foot, usually up near the bellybutton. Often strong enough to make me jump. 2. Hiccups. Little percussive movements at the bottom of the belly. 3. Tap Dance. Extended, repeated versions of #1. Especially popular after meals or when mama is trying to sleep. 4. The Alien. The weirdest motion of all to feel and to watch. Begins at one side of the middle abdomen and undulates across to the other.
