Having a hard time ya mean with it kicking in the ribs and stuff? I don't remember that bothering me so much as the stretching that my belly did. I had horrible stretching pains with each child. Around the sides of my belly, kinda lower. I had to wear this belt type thing that I got from JC Penney's or somewhere for a few weeks until the stretching pains stopped. Both my babies were kinda big(at least for me since I'm 5ft, 90lbs)so perhaps it was inevitable that the stretching would happen. The first one was 8lbs 2 oz (and two weeks late)the other was 7lbs 13oz and 3 weeks early! Anyway, no worries though, I never got a single stretch mark on my belly. Now my boobs.....we won't even go there!!!!

The kicking though does slow down as you progress. There simply is no room at the end for the little bugger to kick. And actually at the end you kinda want the baby to kick cause you start to get paranoid when you don't feel movement

It's all worth it in the end!

So you have 4mths to go yet?!?! It will be here before you know it. It goes fast. Christmas baby eh? Do you live in a state where it snows?
