Weston is growing. At least I hope it's him that's growing and not just me. He started moving around about 2 weeks ago and for the most part was fairly consistant. He would start moving around 9pm every night, or in response to Daddy's voice. And he loved using my bladder as a trampoline. I swear. I had gotten so used to feeling this, that it took me a little while to panic when i didn't feel anything. (That's not to say he wasn't moving, but I wasn't feeling him.)
So I have been very careful, and resting a lot. Poor Scott gets home from work at 845 or 9, and as soon as he gets home, I say hi and go to bed.
After 2 days, my son has once again decided to grace me with his presence. I asked and begged him to move for 2 days. What did I get? Nothing. I even tried to get him to move last night using Scott's voice. It was like my child was too smart for me, and totally knew what I had planned. This morning, I sit down to try and work, and he starts moving and squishing his way all over the place. Nice. Is this normal? The whole move a lot thing, and then the going into hiding part? Someone please clue me in.
Oh! The Dragon is something we are doing for Weston's room. :)

Nathan was that way for me. I was on complete bed rest for months with him and had nothing to do but pay attention to every movement and contraction. He would be active for days, then nothing. I think it's normal, but it was always a little scary.

That moving around and hiding trick is one that made me nervous, too. My doctor told me that my girls were probably just really active at night when I was in my deepest sleep, must have been in between trips to the bathroom. Plus the motion of you walking around is like rocking the baby to sleep so when you are still, they wake up! Yeah, thanks kid! At one appointment Ava's heart rate was really low and she wasn't moving at all. The hooked me up to a machine and then gave me a big Pepsi to drink. Well, that totally did the trick! What I would do if I didn't feel the girls was I'd drink a small glass of apple or orange juice and then lay on my side, that usually got them moving.
