Bruising?

Hello!

So... have any of you had bruising on your belly from the baby beating you senseless?  My little guy is super active, and when he kicks now, it's not gentle.  He boots me HARD.

Last night I noticed the place he was booting me so much was bruised on the outside!!!!!  Apparently this isn't anything to be concerned about, but I'm shocked the little guy could cause bruises on me!

Oh wow, are you serious.  My baby B is also very active and pokes his heals into my side all day long, but I haven't noticed any bruising.

Wow - Sheri, your little guy's kicking the boohonkey (new word!) out of you!  I don't remember bruising on the outside although I did end up w/an umbilical hernia to remember this pregnancy by - I can't believe you're already to 33 weeks!
