movin' and groovin'

Hello again! Just finished my 28th week and things are pretty much the same as the week before. I've been very tired and my back and ribs are hurting from all the extra weight I'm carrying around. Right now Jackson should weigh about 2.5 pounds and is going to be growing rapidly from here on out. I already feel like I'm stretched to my limit!

Just last night I started feeling Jackson squirming around and dragging his foot along the inside of my belly. I put my hand on top of where his foot was and I could feel him moving around. It was a new and very bizarre feeling... not to mention how weird it looked from the outside seeing the heel of a foot moving under my skin! (If you need to see what I'm talking about, check out this video I saw on youtube http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HKnoPvQWIBU )

Today at work I was able to show my coworkers his kicking. He was active enough that you could see my shirt moving up and down. He did more of the pushing and squirming up above my belly button, which is new territory for him since he usually likes to kick down low. On the drive home I experienced the first kick in the ribs. Ouch!

Here's my weekly belly pic, I'm getting huge!
