Alien in my belly

So...it is nice to know that you guys are actually reading this. I have heard from a few people that they have enjoyed my tales of pregnancy thus far. So I will continue...

This week little Riley has been showing off his sweet moves pretty much every time I eat or lay down. And the most bizarre part about this weeks moves are that I can actually see him moving through my skin now. The first time I saw it I almost freaked out. I felt some pressure in my belly and when I looked down I saw my t-shirt moving. At first I thought maybe the wind moved it. But since my ass was plastered to the recliner, indoors, I realized this was no wind flurry. This was Rileys little head, fist or foot. I immediately pulled up my shirt and tripped out. Not to sound Hollywood, but it did look like The Alien!

The more I get to know this little guy, the more I am getting worried that this little bugger might be born with red hair and a mullet. Now you might ask...what is so wrong with that? Well, other than the fact that the mullet went out of style in the 90's...the red hair has significance for me. And the mullet...well, lets face it...only badasses where mullets in this day in age. So...if he is born with red hair and a mullet, I might be a little scared that my son will be a badass with a serious attitude problem! WOOO!

Like today at work. I felt some pressure above my belly button and when I pushed on the area to see what was going on, I immediately felt him push back. As if to say..."Um, cant you see that I am trying to kick your ass. Dont you know I am a badass with a mullet, mom? Jeeez."

Not to jump from topic to topic...but I learned something very disturbing last week. I thought that if Riley is born at the end of July, I would be on a surfboard by September, at the latest. Now...boys who are reading this...read with care. This is something that once again, I did not learn in one of those damn preggo books. Apparently...if you have a natural birth...that 10 cms takes awhile to go back to normal. Which means...no surfing for me. Aside from a terrible bacterial infection, I might just end up with a sea lion or a school of fish up there if I'm not careful. Wow. I cant believe I just went there...WOOO!

So...on that note. I am off to bed to get my belly's butt kicked by our mullet baby :) :)
