Raine: Patchwork Girl

Last week the baby learned to play its first game: I rub my belly in one spot and it pokes the spot. So I rub more and it pokes more. Well, it turns out that this may not be entirely beneficial.

Tonight was spent mainly at Ryan and screepy's house while the Men-folk (that means squidgyfishlove as well) worked on changing the tires on Beardy Man's bike. After playing Guitar Hero on Playstation 2 with screepy (who is very good, she blew me away!), fetching pizza, and squidgyfishlove's glasses from home, I ended up sitting in the garage watching the boys break things. (Stephen got to ride home in the car tonight- he was not pleased.)

I sat rocking back and forth on a cinder block causing a tap or thump like vibration through my pelvis, I would imagine. So, what does the pollywog do? It kicked me straight down after every time I rocked! Pretty clever for only being in existence for 19 weeks and not even born yet. HOWEVER, that is an extremely uncomfortable feeling, and odd to say the least. I have also discovered not far from straight down is down and slightly to the left, which is apparently the button for a sensation very close to that of someone putting their finger in your belly button and swirly it around.

It is a curious thing to share one's guts with a creature which posses the ability to move and now aim quite accurately. I'm proud of it already. :)
