It was a badddd idea to watch fireworks 7 months preggo~!

Funny story!
My boyfriend talked me into going and driving to a bigger town to watch the fireworks celebration, and so we did.
Well we got to a great spot that was right by the park but not actually in it( i have social phobias so a bunch of people and traffic would be bad) parked next to a bench and started the 20 minute wait till the fireworks were scheduled to go off.
I also had my 5 year old son with me, and he was really excited!
Well the fireworks start off and we are really close so they are loud and my son covers his ears, and i feel the baby kick, but dont really think about it.
The fireworks are pretty much slow and steady at first so me and boyfriend are watching them, and my son is half watching fireworks half people watching, and im getting a few baby kicks and its really a nice moment!
Then comes the part where the fireworks become faster and louder........ anyone see where im going with this yet?
and thats when it hits me...... literally....... OUCH! the baby starts playing soccer in time with every.... single...... firework!
and theyve started the grand finale which lasts 5 minutes, and there i am making Oh OW noises with boyfriend and son giggling at me cause they think its cute the babies kicking to the fireworks!~
which at first it was..... but towardfs the very end i wAS HUNCHED IN A BALL ABOUT TO CRY!
needless to say i was very relieved when it was over and i had to pee so bad i barely made it to my dads house!
lesson? Do not watch fireworks up close, if you have an active baby and are far along enough to feel kicks!
my body still hurts today!
