Belly updates

 So, here are the last two belly shots, taken at 6(ish) months and 7(ish) months.

Six months


Seven months


She is getting so big!  I am definitely feeling large and in charge, in full waddle mode.  None of my favorite shoes fit any more, but luckily it's sandal season so I can get away with strappy shoes.  My feet also routinely swell by the end of the day, which (because my blood pressure is actually on the low normal side) I'm taking as a good sign that she's putting pressure down low where she needs to be.  I'm also starting to feel a couple of Braxton Hicks a day, which my doc says is normal.  So basically, starting to feel uncomfortable on a regular basis!

Cubbie is also quite the feisty little one.  She and I regularly get into what I like to call "turf wars," when she kicks my arms and hands any time I rest them on my belly.  Her little feet are so knobbly, and I love to feel them on the right side of my belly, right under my ribs, even if she is being a little salty with them :-).  She continues only to kick for me and seems to have an uncanny ability to know when her Daddy or her sister is trying to feel her.  I actually don't think Willa has gotten a good feel yet!  

Overall, we are both doing really well.  I am excited to meet her soon, but hope she waits until her due date so we have lots of time to get ready for her!

As a fun little bonus, here is a video I took at work where you can see her moving from the outside.  Look to the right side of the belly to see little "pops" as she kicks with her strong little legs!
