Baby Movement Part Two

The baby's movement is still sporadic.  I can usually count on movement after I eat a meal and when I finally settle down for the evening and I am resting on the couch.  But there are days where she doesn't follow this schedule, and is a bit nerve racking.  Take for instance the other day, she barely moved all day.  Then the following day she couldn't calm down.  Of course, she's only one pound so even though I didn't feel her move, she was probably moving.  And sporadic movement is perfectly fine at this stage.  I've read the books; I know the facts.  But that doesn't mean I don't still want to feel that reassurance.  And baby movement is really your only sign that your little one is still doing fine.  Of course, you can measure how you are feeling, and you are getting the thumbs up at all your doctor's appointments, but you still want to feel the movement.  The bottom line is you have so little control over your body. Sure, you control what you eat, what you drink and your overall activity level, but other than that there's not much else you control. And that's disconcerting for any mother-to-be, but certainly for a Type A like myself.  Rest assured I'm not actually worrying, but I will admit I'm a lot happier when I feel the movement.
