Kicking

[muck_a_luck]

I think I'm willing to go out on a limb, here, people and declare that we have kicking! :) I hope this one kicks as much as Small Boy did. It was very reassuring. The doctors give you a standard to monitor for. I believe it was something like at least 10 kicks in half an hour, or something like that, and you were supposed to try to think of doing that a couple of times a day. Whenever I thought of it, Small Boy would always rise to the occassion and give me the necessary number of kicks within about two minutes.

One of the most fun things about pregnancy is the kicking. I liked when people could actually feel the kicking from the outside. I also thought it was cool when you could *see* it.

In other pregnancy news, however, I am tired of being moody all the time. Angry on Tuesday, giddy yesterday, glum today...

Eeee, I love the kicking, too, although my daughter bruised me on the *outside* a couple of times. 0_o And she didn't like me leaning on anything, either--I remember leaning against a table edge at lunch once to reach the salt or something, and she got *her feet against the table edge* and pushed. Master Samwise, by contrast, was lazy. ;D

*That* is very impressive. Of course, the kicking is a reflexive walking reaction caused by the baby's feet coming into contact with the sides of the womb. Table must have been an even more interesting thing to contact... :)

Well I'm giddy about the kicking! :-)
