So, I love feeling baby Penelope kick, but then, when I don't feel her kick, it makes me CRAZY! Augh!
At 24 weeks, my little bundle of joy has developed somewhat of a schedule as far as when I feel her moving around in my tummy. I expect her to kick and twist in the morning as well as a bit throughout the day and then to go crazy again around bedtime. One day, we did a lot of driving, so she was going all acrobatic while riding in the car. I think she gets riled up when I sit for a long time, and plus, we were singing along to music, including her special playlist. Then, that night, we were up later than usual and got to sleep in a bit. I think that the combination of all that threw her off her schedule because the next day, I didn't feel her kicking all morning or hardly at all throughout the day. I was thinking of all the different pregnancy literature I'd read, about calling your doctor if you feel major changes in the pattern of fetal movement or if you don't feel fetal movement in a 24-hour period... Thanks to crazy motherly worries and high hormone levels, I, of course, was in tears. I wanted to feel my baby. Who knew that fetal movement could bring such highs and lows?
Well, that following night, every time I woke up to go to the bathroom, I felt her kicking like crazy, and the next few days proved for her to be back to her typical movement schedule. Ah, the ups and downs and tender joys of carrying a little child.
