She still (apparently) has plenty of room to move (and does so at will) but she is large and in charge enough that sometimes it actually hurts :) Little e almost ALWAYS kicked my ribs (and usually even the left one). She is all over the place. She kicks low a lot, and right across the middle (which is so strange b/c now it feels like she will just come straight out the front) and you can even see the belly move and jump sometimes (I don't remember a lot of that with e). She still has hiccups multiple times a day and loves when I eat sweets (she really starts dancing).
Apparently this week (one week from trimester three!) she is 2 lbs heavy and 15" long (they start measuring head to toe now). That seems pretty big to be doing somersaults inside my short frame - but I swear she does. This girl is going to be a mover and a shaker and plenty of trouble I think. Lord, help us!
Besides feeling like I'm carrying a bowling ball (which means my back, stomach muscles, and hips all hurt) I just have heartburn still. I read in my journaling from e that I had some swelling this week with him already. I am guessing eating most of my meals at home (vs. breakfast and lunch out like I did while working) is helping with that a lot. Its certainly not doing much on the weight gain side (still pound for pound as last pregnancy) but hopefully overall its a bit healthier for both of us.
