Growth Spurt

Oh boy. I'm pretty sure we had another growth spurt. And my we, I mean DJ. Well, the first few times this happened, I would get hungry but not realize I was really hungry until I had gorged a bit on something. One time it was edamame and the belly and baby both seemed to jump in size dramatically. Well, the belly hasn't really grown much. I seem to have reached a plateau with subtle upward growth and rounding being the primary features.

Well, this weekend I was at a pan asian restaurant and B had to fight me over the edamame plate. And it was a BIG plate of edamame. He noticed it and mentioned that I rarely go after the edamame like that. When the food came, we both thought I would only get halfway through it, being full up on soy beans. Nope. I cleaned off the shrimp and a decent portion of rice to boot. B said then that the baby was going to have a growth spurt.

So I've been trying to get extra sleep all week and I haven't been succeeding. So I've been tired as hell. Terribly unfortunate. Then today, I noticed it. DJ was UNCOMFORTABLE. He was moving in ways he'd never moved before, and most of them were rather annoying if not down right painful. He'd poke hard and I'd be completely distracted. I tried to rub the belly to get him to stop but whatever he did it just felt horrible. It's the first time he's really bothered me with movements. Thankfully things seem to have settled down now and he's untangled his limbs. But we had a rough day up to that point.
