Bump Watching

So LB is getting bigger and stronger all the time, obviously, and now the movements in the belly are getting very clear from the outside. One of the stranger things is when LB, following his/her typical behavior throughout this whole pregnancy, bunches up on my right side which now makes my belly look completely lopsided. There was a distinct slope, a SLOPE I tell you! Right now I am watching bumps pop up here and there as my little wiggler pushes out lil elbows, knees and throws punches. Very amusing. Not scary like when LB shakes all spastic-like (apparently normal for fetuses) or apparently has a dream about falling and startles in a very abrupt way (that jolting body movement people do when they dream that is exactly what it feels like. Only happened once so far... so far....) Today, LB was so bold and to stretch out and kick my actual ribs for the first time. There was a distinct foot making contact with my rib cage. I guess LB is finally heeding my suggestion to stretch out a little instead of huddling down in the corner like it has felt like s/he's been doing in the past. Welcome to my upper torso LB. Please don't crack my ribs like the ultrasound tech was talking about.
