How much do I love that we very seriously prescribe chocolate to each other for its soothing medicinal qualities?
I broke down and googled my platelet thing and it turns out to be a 75% chance of being no big deal. Our increased blood volume often lowers the concentration of platelets, plus many women have a pregnancy-induced condition of lower platelet production. It can indicate far more serious things, but statistically very unlikely, and I would have a lot of other symptoms.
I wasn't really worried, but it is nice to know.
So, I think the baby inside me is also possessed by the squirrelly energy. He does not stop moving. Ever.
No matter what I'm doing, he's swimming laps, practising ninja kicks, rock climbing (I am guessing that's what the strange, grippy/pully feeling on the sides of my womb is?), etc. I am supposed to do fetal movement counts everyday now. It takes him an average of 6 minutes to hit 10 movements. I'm tempted to fill out the chart with the times that he's not moving. He seems to take a series of 10-minute power naps, then he's back at it.
I guess I can stop worrying about losing the baby weight - I will be chasing after the world's most active child for the next 18 years!
Is it because of this manic energy burst I've been on for the last few weeks? Maybe I do have something chemical and bizarre going on in my body and now he's got it, too! His kicks and wiggles are now physically in my dreams, too. So he's going most of the night.
Crazy baby. Mama still loves!
my feet are the only thing that havent got bigger tho
