The Belly, IV; Sleepy Mommy

You want pictures?! I've got pictures! Here's Sarina, 28.5 weeks pregnant.

Something happened a couple of weeks ago. We think that maybe Micah is too big to fit back over Sarina's pelvis anymore ... and he sort of just "popped" out. And out popped Sarina's belly too! It really was an amazing change and seemed very sudden (though perhaps it was happening gradually and we just didn't notice).

Micah being bigger, Sarina notices him moving a whole lot more often, and I've had the opportunity to feel him more too. Yesterday, Sarina was sitting on the porch and called me out to feel Micah moving around. He was pushing hard enough to make my hand move! Fortunately, this doesn't actually hurt Sarina.

With all his movement, I decided to say hello, with very interesting results. Immediately after my "Hello, Micah!" all motion stopped. I think that he might find my voice a little startling, as this wasn't the first time that this happened. Who knows what is going on in that little baby mind, but it does seem that he doesn't know what to think when I talk to him. Very amusing.

Sarina has just three more weeks before her papers are all due. Being a mom and a student looks tiring, doesn't it?

Brett,
I admit, I find your voice disturbing as well. I'm not sure if you remember, but the first few times you talked to me, I stopped moving too. Like a deer in headlights, I just .. I forget where I was going with this one. Glad to hear all is well.
