One June 16, I started feeling some pretty reliable kicks during a meeting. It was funny because I sat through the meeting pretty much ignoring the little bubbles that I felt in my lower abdomen. You know, sometimes it’s just gas…but about halfway through my meeting, the thought occurred to me that this is about the time when baby kicks start happening.
Since then, the kicking has been on and off, but it’s definitely little jabs and kicks. When I yelled at the dog yesterday for eating Emma’s food, I felt a quick twitch. I think the volume must’ve scared someone in there.
On another note, I feel pretty tired each night by about 9:30. Un-pregnant Lauren likes to go to bed at 11pm and stay up forever. Pregnant Lauren can barely keep her eyes open after putting Emma to bed. However, if I wake up in the middle of the night to let the dogs out or calm a sad child from a dream, I can’t go back to sleep for at least 2 hours. So that’s fun.
