The best thing for a neurotic mother-to-be is a baby that just move, move, moves all the time.? And so far, at least at this stage in the game, that’s what this little bean is doing.? I’m 26 weeks tomorrow and starting this past Sunday, I started noticing a landslide of movement from my little guy.? Where I’d gotten used to some thrashes and kicks and then a couple hours of “silence”, there was a decided lack of “silence.”? Not that I minded, mind you.
Yesterday, I swear this child didn’t stop moving ALL DAY LONG.? Today, the movement has been less dramatic but no less THERE.? I even tried out the doppler during a “quiet” time and he or she promptly kicked the heck out of my doppler wand and then wouldn’t stop moving.? I could definitely get used to this.
Which isn’t to say that this welcome activity isn’t without it’s own set of worries as far as I’m concerned.? Because the baby is moving SO much now, will that mean I freak out all the more when the movement inevitably slows down?? This is why I’m not even thinking of sending back to the doppler at this stage in the game.? Not even a consideration.? Because *now* isn’t what I’m worried about so much as those final weeks before the c-section.
In the meantime, I’m REALLY enjoying each little kick and squirm.? I 90% sure this child is laying breech, since most of the movement is fairly low.? And I’m trying not to worry about that (Jackson was breech too).? But with each little kick and punch, my heart is even more lost to this little life.? I wish it was July RIGHT NOW.

I wish it was July for you too. Try your best to enjoy the movements and the doppler, before you know it July will be here.
