Busy Baby
This little tyke has become very mobile just in the last week. Before I would only feel her moving a couple times throughout the day, usually after a meal and for only a half an hour or so. But now, she's punching and kicking and bucking all over the place at all hours of the day and night. I can tell she's already bigger than what the baby websites say babies at 23 weeks are "normally" because one second I feel her bulge out just below my spleen/stomach area and the next second she kicks down by my appendix. She's no joke. I wonder if this is an omen to how active she will be once freed from her fleshy cage. I am definitely anticipating months of colic, severe sleep deprivation, and depression (for me). I feel bad for Jacob already. I suck enough when having slightly fitfull nights of sleep, let alone NO sleep with a screaming, kicking baby. We shall see. Pray for me, people. Pray that I get an angel child. Pray that I can manage to finish school without going on Zoloft and becoming a full-fledged alcoholic. (I'm only half-serious about that.) Pray that Jacob doesn't leave my disgruntled ass. (I know he wouldn't, but we've never had a baby either.) The closer the due date gets, the more terrified I become. I'm still not convinced my personality is suited for motherhood. I like fuzzy kitties who sleep all day and purr. Can babies do that?
