Kicky little Critter!

[Cavemama]

The Lima Bean has been very active lately, with some kicks making me literally jump.  I prefer the hearty, "i mean it" kicks to the earlier, "fish in my belly "movements.  I had friends and coworkers gush, "Oh, you are going to just LOVE when you feel those first flutters!" To tell the truth, I did not like them at all.  I felt like I had a worm, or some sort of parasite in my gut, and it made me uncomfortable.  Not physically uncomfortable, but mentally so.  I'm relieved the kicks have gotten stronger.  Feels more like a baby and less like a worm.

I have been using BabyPlus, a prenatal lesson tool that I strap across my belly twice a day for an hour each.  The Lima Bean seems to move more when I put it on.  I don't know if that is because LB likes it or hates it, but it is supposed to be beneficial.  I guess we shall see.
