I was amazed today, because the Lil' Ninja seemed to really be working the stretch. The best pictures come after a long day at work when my ligaments are all relaxed. You can really see the critter making space.

As Aunt Janet suggested, I have been slathering myself with cocoa butter. I haven't been uncomfortable at all either, which I had anticipated. Amused is the best adjective I have to describe my feelings on the physical changes.

I don't know that I would feel so good if I wasn't jogging/walking over 2 miles a day and working in some light yoga. It really does make a difference. As do the compression hose Mom P. suggested I wear at work.
There is definite movement, too. Alex is bummed that he can't feel anything yet, but the baby moves when he talks to it. So I'm sure Lil' Ninja will have a solid punch to give Daddy's head when the time is right.
