A study of abdominal extrusion

As I sit here in Adelaide, I find my thoughts turning to the strange goings on in my wife’s belly. Our little baby (who has a mere 15 weeks to go) seems to like nothing better than to see how far she can push mum’s belly beyond its normal shape. My favourite of all are the scrapes, rather than the punches, because you can clearly feel those little knuckles rubbing along the inside.

From what I hear, we will soon be able to make out elbows and other body parts as my baby attempts to redecorate her steadily shrinking accommodation. If the current prods, pokes and scrapes are anything to go by, we’ll probably be able to make out fingerprints pretty soon!

    Hotel Mum is quickly running out of space, it seems our unborn baby is trying to kick their way out of here…constantly kicking down at my exit :)

    And whilst it may be amazing to watch – just remember, our baby is doing box-ercise on my insides (which isn’t always appreciated!).
