Talk about motivation to give up coffee and cookies.
The sprogling moves a lot, actually, he's active enough that doctors and nurses are surprised at the amount of time he spends moving and wriggling. Yesterday, however, he was squirming and kicking so hard it brought tears to my eyes. zenten tried calling his mom. I didn't want to call mine, because all she tells me is "It's going to get worse" and that's not encouraging. So I talked to my dad. He was there, he'll remember. I got a more honest answer out of him than any woman I've spoken to or the internet. It's like some sort of bizarre conspiracy to withhold the fact that the baby indeed passes from feeling uncomfortable (which is a given), to hurting and being painful on occasion. What the hell?
So I'm glad I talked to my dad, and got the man perspective. It looked like it hurt. A lot. Often. The last 6 weeks looked particularly rough and don't delude yourself into thinking that you will be anything but uncomfortable. He's thankful my mom never blamed him for her condition.
It was honest and appreciated.
So decaf only for me from now on and no more Oreos.
And a lot of finger crossing that he stops hitting the most tender parts.

And I figured you'd have to check with Kerry, since she's the one in pain right now :(
