Baby Cappy is getting stronger and stronger! We can see his kicks, punches, and head butts from the outside now. Daddy praises him for doing such great tummy tricks. Cappy's sense of hearing is supposed to be pretty good, but despite this, Joe insists on the mouth to belly baby communication technique. It reminds me of Dory the fish from Finding Nemo doing the whale voice... If nothing else, this is preparing Cappy for Daddy's odd sense of humor. I find myself talking to him as well, but usually when we're alone. Even though I know I am not talking to myself, I still feel a little odd having a one sided conversation with my belly.
I have been dancing with him though. I've been stretching out my back and hips often by hula hooping, dancing, and just standing and rocking from side to side. These offer good stretching throughout the day, but night time is when things get a more uncomfortable. I've been getting rib pain either from displaced organs or Cappy stretching all the way out to put a body part under my ribs. And never being a side sleeper before, my lower back aches as I change from left to right side throughout the night. We've been experimenting with pillow formations and I now occupy 2/3rds of the bed between me, baby belly, my 4 pillows and Snoopy. Apparently my restless sleeping is also causing a bit of very unladylike (and unSuzielike) snoring. Poor Joe.
