Sweep the Leg, Baby

[31w4d]

This week, I definitely hit a new phase in the pregnancy. In combination with the baby's punch/jab/ninja routine, it has started pushing out against my stomach, sometime sweeping its body along my insides. It usually catches me off guard and often it tickles. It's strange that putting my hand where the baby is moving, I can feel whatever is pushing out. Then, I usually start feeling around -- where it's hard, it's baby and where it's not, it's just fluid. I like touching it, though, since it's about as close as I can get to actually touching it before it comes out.

I also have been really tired, which I expected since everything I've been told or read has said the third trimester can be as tiring as the first. Sleeping is just flat out annoying with all the flipping back and forth all night and pillow readjusting. Thankfully, it's only for another couple of weeks.

I went back to the gym this week for the first time in a month. My body felt so good afterward, so I'm planning on returning as frequently as I can.

Back to the doc on Friday and birthing class on Saturday. I'm really looking forward to both.
