baby has been wiggling around a bit more lately. I do not feel all warm and fuzzy about this movement; in fact, I find it creepy to have a miniature human moving around inside my body. But it is nice to know it's ok, which is what I take from the movements. Unless it's thrashing for help. In which case, I wouldn't know, because I can't see it.
Which makes me wonder if fetuses have dreams. I mean, do they dream of floating around in there? Do they dream of hearing your voice or the bass thump of some music? It seems to be rather boring to be a fetus. No wonder babies are so cranky when they're born. They've been semi-aware of their surroundings for at least 4 months and nothing has been going on. Just wake up, float, kick, punch, yawn water, breathe water, suck thumb, sleep sleep sleep, etc.
Sorry you can't get cable in there, baby.

Chad has also wondered if babies..or fetuses..dream. I wonder too. I did turn on Legally Blonde the Musical which I was obsessed with around month 6 and 7 and William quit fussing and just sat there- i wonder if it reminded him of his womb time....
I hated people asking me "Is the baby moving a lot?" Well I don't know I've nothing to compre it to so stop asking questions...I can't wait to hear what people ask you and how you will respond to it :-)
Jennifer - Here's the worst part: Since I've gotten pregnant, I've become very quiet. I don't sing much in the car, I don't watch as much tv...I have just really craved silence - I figure it has to do with the fact that somewhere I know that silence will come very infrequently soon and so I'm trying to soak in it while I can. But I feel like maybe I was supposed to make noise and stuff to entertain the baby...I try to have kitty meow close to my belly so that baby won't be scared of meows and purrs...It's ok that the dog barks because I want it to be used to that noise since she's not likely to stop barking. I just don't want the baby to be so used to the quiet. Because I'm not going to be quiet when it gets here. LOL
This morning, I poked at my belly, and it poked back!
Speaking on noise...I had a really hard time learning to talk to Bliss after he was born. Like have a one-way conversation with him. I would tell him what we were doing when we were doing it or even ask questions that I knew he wouldn't respond to. I never thought that would be a difficult task, but it sort-of was. So enjoy the quiet now, because soon you're going to feel like you're talking to yourself all the time. Just one of those nice "mommy" things that carries over sometimes to an inappropriate setting.
