This is me on the yoga ball bouncing about in an attempt to reposition the baby. The baby was lying so awkwardly and it was really uncomfortable. The bouncing around didn't really work to be honest but it helped a little bit!
The baby does not stop moving! I said last week that I wished it moved more and now I am eating my words. It is flipping and kicking and jumping and sleeping! It has become very clear when there is some movement and looking back the movements I was feeling before were so mild compared to now! Lovely really as I know it's doing ok and growing well.

I think this week I experienced my first Braxton Hicks (as early as 16 weeks you may experience BH, you will notice the tightening of your uterus and usually lasts for a couple of minutes. Not everyone notices them but most people start to experience them at later stages of pregnancy). I so experienced them... I was at work and I suddenly got this uncomfortable stretch, tightening of my tummy. At first I thought the baby had just moved to an uncomfortable position but when I stood up to walk about I realised that it was something different. It didn't hurt but it was a bit uncomfortable, it made me realise the type of sensation contractions are going to be, but 100 times worse. Hmmm, labour is gonna be a tough one!
Hopefully I won't get them too often from now, we will see.
This week, Dan was away with work and I came home one evening and got an urge to get busy so, I painted the kitchen! Yep, there I was, up the ladder, stretching with the roller! Ridiculous really and I had to be so careful. I didn't know why I got started on it but I just needed to get it done then! It looks lovely and although we still have the delightful yellow cabinets, it looks so much better!
I didn't stop then.... next I was in the nursery moving all the furniture around. It was very heavy but I was careful but I just had to do it there and then and I just couldn't wait until the next day when Dan was back! It looks so organised and all ready for baby Hawkes to move in!
oh yeah. Nesting.
