Hannah and B.O.B - 26 weeks and counting
You feel like you have really arrived in Pregnant Land when random strangers in the shopping centre make comment about your belly, pending due date, pending joys such as breastfeeding when their teeth are coming through...thanks! You've arrived when people comment with pleasant surprise when they realise you're pregnant - and it ISN'T followed by that momentary shadow of horror across their face that they might just have accused you of being fat!
And I can definitely feel it now! There is daily (and nightly!) bumping and bouncing around - pretty funny when sitting in a meeting or trying to concentrate on interviewing someone. I think we've even had a bout of hiccups already. It is the funniest thing to WATCH it move - sometimes a quick jolt or poke, sometimes a role and a wriggle. Might I really be able to tell the difference between the hand and leg movements...? Daddy Anton has had a kick or two in the ear whilst trying to listen to what's going on. Ha. And the midwife was given a hard time when she was prodding around too...unsurprising! It is certainly a new dimension of awareness about the reality of it all, and the little person being created...

Hannah and B.O.B.
It just made me giggle wide-eyed at the tricks and summersaults and little person movements that it made! Legs stretching, little fists rubbing its nose, feet tapping - or kickboxing more like...was just amazing. I'm sure we are the first people ever in the world to be so amazed and pleased by it!
And I just can't understand how, with all that wriggling and wiggling, that I can't yet feel it...or at least don't know that I am feeling it if I am. Not sure how that works. I'm getting increasingly proud of my sticky-out belly, even though it isn't all that sticky-outy yet. At least it looks pregnant, not just podgy now.
It is a lovely thing to be growing a bubby.
