little fish swimming in a mama fish bowl
The little girl (now confirmed) in my belly would seem to be quite the little swimmer swimming around in her mama’s fishbowl belly. She is constantly doing flips and moving so her head is down at one point and then is to the side and she’s laying sideways 10 minutes later.
This was all confirmed at an appt today where they were monitoring her closely because 2 days ago they did a scan that found i had low amniotic fluid. All is ok though. I drank a lot of water between then and now (i totally own that i suck at drinking enough water) and things looked fine. The tech said “are you a swimmer? you have quite a little swimmer in there”
she’s named now. But i think maybe i’m too superstitious to put it here yet.
We have a house guest for the long term. although she’s not actually a house guest right now , as i found her house sitting gigs. But she’s over here most days. This is a good thing because she’s like family for me and really needs a safe place to be. Her life being in upheaval. it’s also interesting because i SERRRRRIOUSLY need my space and I am hoping I don’t get irritable and uncharitable before all is said and done. I’ve strained friendships before where somebody had to stay with me for awhile.
I had placenta previa at my 20 week scan, but by now (28 weeks) it had resolved itself, which is a great relief.
I’m in the third trimester. that’s just crazy to me. still so much to do!

I was horrible at drinking water too until someone told me that the amount of water you drink is directly correlated with the amount of amniotic fluid that the babies have…that freaked me out into drinking 2 liters a day! I started drinking the bubbly water and that helped with the tedium of just water.
Congrats on your little girl! Maybe she will be a swimmer after all!
Congrats on the little girl! That is such great news, as well as the previa resolving. I love the phrase of having the little swimmer in there
How fun that she is so active in there! And it’s great that your placenta previa cleared up too. One less thing to worry about. Thanks for being the dissenter on the stripes. I just love them (especially the yellow and green). I still think maybe it’s too much with the fabric pattern, but maybe we’ll just do one wall with stripes as a compromise.
