I would describe them as light twitching. I had them just the other day. I don't have them frequently, but I can totally tell that's what they are! I think it's so cute 
.
I worked up until week 36 with .Brian. 34 weeks is fine .K.

Lol, .I don't mind them, if that's what it is. Sometimes .I just sit there &.I'm like " 
what is going on in there?!"
.I want to work as long as possible, but .I really don't want to push myself. Especially since .I keep getting sick, &it's already so hard on me to work a lot. &.It doesn't help that they want to know like, right now, when my last day is gonna be!

They're kinda like light kicks, but they come at regular intervals. They stay on beat, I guess you could say.
I would work until I couldn't anymore. Like, if you feel like you're barely making it right now, then push your "last day" up a bit. If you think you can make it to .Feb, work til then. Know what I mean?
I stopped working in .June, and didn't have .Aly til .July. So there you go.

As for working, you should probably try to work as long as you can just because you'll be going down to one income after that and you'll probably want all the extra money you can get. I worked (retail) until 34 weeks but that's only because we moved then and I had a new house to set up on my own while nick worked. I was actually going to go back at 36 weeks and work up until 39 but I got put on bed rest. I was uncomfortable and felt like crap but I knew how hard it would be when I stopped working so I forced myself to get through it. I only put in 32 hour weeks though.. |
.Only 32hr weeks?! Lol, .Jesus. I'm not even *allowed* to work more than 20 a week, according to my doctor!

Hiccups are the sweetest things in a baby. Aly will literally sound like "hic-cup! Hic-cup!" like she's drunk off the boob or something
i was still working a 40 hour week until my doc took me off work in .June
and that was on my feet, too. Ugh, it was miserable.

Lmao, .Laura! Awwwh. Aly. She's so sweet.
I can't imagine working anymore than .I do, now. It's already so hard on me. I can hardly move or walk after working just a 4 hour shift.

Does .Finn sneeze with his mouth? Aly goes "ah-thplplplplpl" and spit (and .I'm assuming snot too) goes flying everywhere. It's nasty. She's sneezed on me soooo many times and gotten fluid all over me. And all I can think to say is "...Thank you baby..."

Alyvia loses her damn mind when I try to suck her boogies out. She gets soooo pissed off and turns her head from side to side and cries really hard, and when she takes a breath to cry again she sucks the boogies further up, and sometimes she sucks them into her throat and stops crying long enough to cough, and when she catches her breath she screams louder because that pissed her off too. It's like 
.I'm trying to help you, child... But she looks at me like "you did that on purpose!" 
"mean, evil mommy!"

I worked right up till I was about 34,35 weeks I was planning on working right until the end but my boss wouldnt let me 
but keep in mind that it takes like a month for maternity leave to actually go through thats what they told me whenever I went to employment insurance. And I was wondering what those little twitches were in my belly lol mine feel like little tugging,jumping feelings
