*You are a mover.  Bedtime has become a bit uncomfortable as it takes a while to get situated,

*I feel you move a lot.  Thumps, bumps, kicks, and pokes...you Mia Elizabeth Laren are quite a mover.  I can appreciate, though that you are pretty calm while I sleep...it's much appreciated!

*I can feel you move quite a bit...tumbling and rolling all around.
*You discovered that my ribs are perfect punching bags and that my bladder makes a great trampoline!  Luckily you do this during the day and we have established quite a good routine at sleeping, only waking for potty breaks.
*Last night I saw my stomach move.  I felt this "itch" and went to rub it, only to see a little poking coming from my stomach...too bad your daddy wasn't home to see it too!
*I've slowly been able to eat fried foods again...yeah for bacon!
*Nesting is starting to set in...though conquering the mess in your room is slow to progress!
