i *think* alex is "beating" on me hahahaha

[jesslee83]

i've mentioned a few times, that i keep feeling little *thumps* (i'd mentioned nicking him thumper haha).....but all day today, i keep feeling these *thumps*.....and this morning they were mainly around the left side of belly, so i thought maybe it was a muscle spasm....well throughout the day, several times, i'll get these thumps.....like this am, it was on the left side, around lunch it was on the right side, and now, i got like 3 of them in a row, about 4 inches below my button, and 3 or so inches above my pubic line, so like right in the center.....which is where dr found his 'willie", so i'm guessing he has moved to that part of my uterus.....but its' wierd, and it's been happening for only about 2 or so weeks maybe longer, but today, it's been more recurring....as i said i figured it was a spasm, but i'm getting them in so many places, and they don't hurt or anything, it feels like how when you get pumped up, you can feel your heart pound? they arent that quick by any means, and like right before i wrote this, i felt 2, and again thinking it could be a spasm, i started rubbing it and applying very slight pressure, like to relieve it? and in the middle, i felt it again!!!!! and it was VERY profound!!!!!

so i'm only 19 weeks?(a week ago i was like 17w5d), so on wed/thurs i'll be 19 weeks....could he reallly be that active? when dr was looking for his genitals, he was soooo active! even the dr was surprised, cos it actually took him a few minutes to get him to settle down long enough, and rubbing my stomach so alex would turn and we could catch a shot of his "willie"......i didnt think to mention the "spasms" b/c i figured it could be normal....and it's not a pulling or tugging, it's like a good heart pound, or a nice thump like i said....oh and also, i can feel the "tracing" of something also, like when you run your finger against something soft? like if you've ever worked with pizza dough, how you can trace the dough(i was a dough girl at mr gatti's lol, and i LOVED playing with the extra dough!).....and how your finger goes smoothly, and leaves a slight print?   or, i guess like, if i was running my fingers softly but firmly across my stomach, except *I* am not doing it!!!!!

How did I miss this post? lol
Yes Jess it sounds like it's him moving. :) I started feeling Riley RIGHT around christmas time.. I don't remember how many weeks.. But yeah.. aww. :] when I felt him a little bit more often, I would poke him [hehe I'm mean I know] not real hard, but sometimes he'd poke back. A couple times we would do this and he would poke back up to 10 times. :D !! I knew I wouldn't hurt him 'cause if I bothered him I knew he could move away and I would stop.. lol. We still do this occasionally, with his little feet, I like to 'tickle' them.. Hahah. Sometimes it makes him kick me pretty hard though. I told joey he's just like me and his daddy, doesn't like his feet messed with. lol

lol, i'm sooo lonely, i called chris and left him a voicemail, telling him alex was already just like his dad....chris loves poking my ribs(lightly), or my thighs....so i was like "yea well, ya know, he's just like his dad, always has to be poking on me, and if i don't react, he just does it more".....haha, yes i'm that lonely i've started leaving like 3 vm's a day, but i just started yesterday....aaaaaaghhhhhhhh, this is worse than when he was in the navy, his hind-end was home lol......

Yea, it sounds like it's him kicking. that's exactly what my son does. But I'm 24 weeks and got my first thump at 19 weeks or so.. but I went several weeks without much movement.. then got like 8 thumps in 1 day, and 2-3 the next, then like 20the next day... it varies for me, I'll get a few one day and a bunch a few days later.. but yea, sometimes it feels as if he's "beating" me from the inside... esp when he hits my bladder about 5 times in a row.

i loooooove your name lol

i was wondering, cos i'm like, i know it's not gas, and was just wondering if i should feel so MUCH so early? or am i not really that "early" in my pregnancy? i know i am 2nd-tri, but i was unsure...

thanks for the reply!!!

Yes the baby can be very active, which is good, thats a good sign you have a healthy baby, it only getts worse with the kickings and then the moving, good luck.
