Something cute I've noticed

As baby grows, I can definitely feel the fact he's got less room to move and groove. This week I've actually seen his feet push against my tummy (up near my ribs) and stick out. I just push them back in.

Today I've noticed that when I'm on the phone, he squirms around a lot. I wonder if he is responding to the sound of my voice? When I'm just quietly typing at my desk, he doesn't move as much.

I'm really anxious to meet this little guy, but I do also enjoy feeling him move around inside me. Even though I feel like a boxing ring sometimes, baby's movements amuse me and amaze me. Yes, I believe I will miss the squirms and pokes after he enters the world. But I am so looking forward to his smiles and giggles!

There is no doubt that he is responding to your voice...if James has been reading or talking alot to your little one, the baby will definitely recognize his voice as well when he is born!  I so missed feeling the kicks and punches after having the boys.  But, I also loved seeing them roll around and move outside....especially once I had them and was free to bend and move as I needed to!  (I REALLY missed tying my shoes and painting my toes while pregnant!)  I'd bet your little one will not like to be swaddled tightly once he is born...both my boys would kick and wiggle until they were totally free of the blankets they had been tightly swaddled in....it will indeed be interesting to meet your little soccer player!

Not that you need more to do, but I definitely recommend reading Happiest Baby on the Block if you can. It has been a lifesaver for us!
