Funny bunnies
Over the past few days, the quality of kicking has changed with the twins.
Earlier, I would feel small, fast movements--a poke here, a nudge there. And not always painless, either, as our boy was breech and backwards, kicking all the nerves near my spine. (he recently flipped over--which is good--but now he has his head pressed into my bladder, which brings its own set of difficulties)
But now it feels like I have bouncy bunnies in my tummy. All jumpy and springy, with big, strong movements, like bunnies flexing their back legs for a jump. Little Thumper and Bumper, haha. I keep on watching my belly, thinking that if I watch at the right time, I'll actually be able to see the motion. Hasn't happened yet.
They got pretty wound up right after I ate Indian food. I wonder if they liked it or hated it? Random pregnancy fact: babies drink and taste the amniotic fluid, which is somewhat flavored by the food that you eat. It's thought that by tasting the food that the mother eats, it makes it easier for the kids to adapt to their culture's cuisine later on. I hope our kids like eating lots of foods (eventually)!

Technically, they're due December 3rd, but twins usually come 2-4 weeks early (it gets too squishy in there, LOL!).

I don't know how, but I came across this and wanted to pass it along:
