#3 - Week 20

So the weirdest thing happened this week...Jill was kicking up towards my diaphragm area and I was kinda freaked out. Then I realized that I'd NEVER felt that with the boys because Tony was laying under it, protecting it. Whenever Alex would kick, he'd kick Tony or some other internal organ. And because Tony was laying parallel to it, he never kicked it. So yeah, that was new. And weird. And I am concerned that given the strength of Jill's kicking already that my ribs are in BIG trouble in a few months. Which is fine because that would mean she was cooperating and head down...right now, she seems to be pulling a Tony and laying like she's in a hammock. Great. Of course both Will and I were able to feel her kicking from the outside of the belly the first time I thought her kicks were strong enough, so maybe she'll be cooperative? Crossing fingers. If not, at least we can be pretty sure that soccer is in her future and that she'll be able to kick her brothers' butts!


For comparison, pregnancy #1, week 20. I laughed when I read this post because I complained about having to go 4 weeks between ultrasounds. Um, I'm not getting anymore after 18 weeks this time because I'm normal and healthy. Poor Jill, so few ultrasound pictures compared to her brothers. I guess she'll make up for that with clothes...and hair bows...and frilly socks...yeah, girls have way more cute stuff to buy!
