Our first viewing of the movement began with what looked like a finger poking up from her belly. Next we saw a substantial poke which we interpret as a fist. We see the fist most often, but there has been a new experience.
Recently we've been seeing what I like to call "The Earthquake." If you look at Jessica's belly from above, you'll see this impact that sends tremors out from its center. Imagine a pebble dropping in a lake and seeing the concentric circles. Those are the tremors that you can see. It is quite an impact and almost takes Jessica's breath away sometimes.
There has been a time when Steve was over and Jessica told us to watch because he had been active. And what we saw was probably a forearm bulging vertically up her Belly. Just a couple of weeks ago, I was fortunate enough to see what I believe was a hand. From my perspective I saw what think was 4 fingers slide down the front of her belly. That was a little surreal.
It is unfortunate that Jessica has grown so much that she is no longer able to see much of what those kicks or impacts look like when she's laying down. So I have to try and describe them. One thing that we both were able to see was a wave that flowed down her belly. Looking across her belly I saw something jut out from her rib area and then go back down, then something raised just below that and then flowed down her. We actually saw the rolling motion and were a little freaked out because we didn't believe that was possible. What is he doing in there? According to the Baby Center weekly email, he's doing somersaults now?!? What is he practicing for the Olympics? This wave seemed like he's learning to Surf.
by the way, we've posted another belly shot. See post below.
That little guy is going to want out before you know it!
