It has been an odd couple of weeks in this body. I have been feeling more teary, and juicy, and sexy even(!) My right hand/arm has puffed up and keeps going numb - very annoying when I am trying to type or fall asleep. Actually, falling asleep is not happening properly anyway. I lie there wide awake, not feeling anxious about anything - just awake. I have finally been able to reach my cervix - just - but there’s nothing interesting happening there yet. B1 is not tightly wedged in my pelvis. Sometimes the head is very low, but other times it comes up and tilts to the right. I am getting more and more braxton hicks contractions that have an ache to them, but not for longer than a couple of hours at a time.
Because I have the deepest belly button of doom, there has been no popping outtage, and in fact, I still couldn’t tell you where it ends…
And lastly, I am getting something I have been waiting for with such keen anticipation… I am finally feeling little kicks on my back and bottom from B2, when S and I snuggle up to sleep at night. B2 will be 23 weeks on Monday, and S is getting such a lovely little round tummy. This is the calm before the storm, and we are loving it!
