Vicky: Woke up in a panic because my phone was dead and alarm wasn't set. And i sit up and boom i can feel the baby give me a real big kick high in my abdomen! First motion that wasnt low low below and first real “feel it from the outside" kick. I'm in love. Charles come home babe!!

Vicky: One day you are feeling cute and pregnant the next you feel like a cow, who if knocked over will never get up! Dammit if this didnt hit me. The gravity of this baby in the past few days sent me to the hospital. He feels like a bowling ball pushing my legs open and trying to fall out. Like super heavy and he only kicks my vagina. My legs are tired. My goal today is just to get up and try to do some prenatal yoga so that maybe i can relax in some way. Its too early to be this sore. Stay in baby boy. You got a little more cooking to do.

Emma: Now you can poke and prod and jiggle your guts for a reaction. I always did haha. Maybe get a belly band? Or wrap an ace bandage for belly support. That is so uncomfortable
Vicky: yeah i have one its not very supportive i need the one with straps but honestly its like, internal. Its not in the belly area. Its like almost like close to the taint pressure to be frank haha
Emma: I used to call it lightning crotch
Vicky: Yup.
Emma: Like stabby sharp pain?
Vicky: Yup.
Jacqueline: it’s the positioning. When Dusty was in my belly he sat directly on my sciatic nerve sending constant shooting pain from my lower back, down my butt, to the back of my knee. He also loved to kick me directly in the cervix which was oh so comfortable. Just put your feet up and relax whenever possible. Hopefully he will shift soon and make things more comfortable for you
Vicky: Hes just making space i guess haha hes finally grown above my belly button so maybe he will move around

Emma: Vicky yes it does not feel good when they fully stretch.. He just doesnt understand why his space is getting smaller haha
Jacqueline: Oh you mean when you feel a foot in your rib? Is it crazy that I actually miss these feelings of torture and pain??
Vicky: Long ass green bean baby
Emma: yes Pregnancy is ugh
Jacqueline: listen girl it’s just too fresh in your memory haha. Give it 2 years then we’ll talk. I think it’s because I know I’ll never feel it again
Maria: I miss these feelings too
Emma: no I had 5 and I have 2 step kids. Haha 6 kids at home is enough
Jacqueline: hahaha exactly, you forget what it feels like not to be pregnant
Amy: What’s your due date?
Vicky: They changed it a couple times oct 28-31. Wolff Halloweenish.
