And so it begins... I get no sleep at night, it's a good thing I get little naps in in the afternoon after work otherwise I'd be a train wreck. At night the little man is WIDE AWAKE and kicking me. Apparently he's not thrilled with me laying on my side. The little bit of pressure of my belly up against the bed annoys him (really? seriously? ugh!) and he kicks me in the area that is touching the bed over and over and over until I move. I just roll over to the other side, and then we begin all over.
I had mentioned on my facebook last week that the little man knocks stuff over if I rest it on my tummy, such as the remote when I'm watching tv. (granted, I've taken to using my growing belly as a table/coaster/shelf). But the little guy is not amused, and so he knocks off whatever I put there. At first this was amusing me to no end, that my unborn baby and I were able to play a little game where if I put something somewhere he reacts and hits it, then if I move the object (or my finger as I've also been doing) to another spot, he hits the new spot too, I feel like I'm playing the kids game "Simon" (do they still make that game?) with my little one. But now, well now I'm not allowed to sleep, and his kicks are getting harder and startling me while I sleep, and making for a cranky/ not-so-awake Ali in the AM.
Right now he has a lot of room to play in there. As he grows there will be less room and the movements will be subtle. However, new issues will develop as when he kicks your bladder or gets up under your ribs.
