Our junior has also started to move around noticeably. He already had been moving
for a while, but now he has become big enough that it really starts to distract.
And if you ask me he has still too much space available. Another thing that is
actually rather amusing. Junior doesn't like to be poked or pushed. So if I
gently push on one side of my belly he starts to move to the other side. He, he,
he. But making a good ultrasound picture is rather difficult because junior won't
hold still long enough. This makes for some very amusing and nice footage during
the scan, but making pictures is very much dependent on patience and a lot of
good luck.

Our junior already decided that early in the morning is the best time for his
'training sessions'. Just hope that sleeping through the night in the next few
months will still be possible.
Something I noticed this week. When I look down I can't see my toes anymore. That
is scary because I've always been able to see my toes.
