My Lovely Baby Bumps

Cub Scout is pretty darn comfortable incubating in my uterus.  So comfortable that he never changes position.  Oh, he kicks and punches - a LOT - but always in the exact same spots. 

In addition to my overall baby bump, I have two very distinct bumps that are always in the same place which is how I know that Cub Scout never changes position.  My midwife confirmed for me that the larger bump is in fact his little butt and legs and the smaller bump is his head. 

Being slender with no excess body fat and my baby weight in my belly and my boobs I guess is what helps makes my lovely baby bumps so visible.  I constantly sit with my hand resting on his bum - it fits so perfectly in my palm.

Cub Scout is being born in the Chinese year of the Rabbit.   Here's what is said about children born in this year:

A child born in the Rabbit's year will have a sweet disposition. Even-tempered and obedient, he will be sensitive to the moods of his parents and act accordingly. He may or may not be talkative, but he won't be rowdy or offensive. He can sit quietly and concentrate on one toy or game at a time.

Usually he is a light sleeper and may fret a lot when he is sick. He will be easy to discipline and should have little trouble fitting in at school. He learns his lessons well and with ease. But although he has better than average manners, this does not mean he will not be argumentative in his own soft-spoken way. He can grasp both sides of a question quickly and debate his point with intelligence.

At times, it will be difficult to decipher his thoughts or deeds. Smooth at masking his feelings, the Rabbit will only say what he knows will please you and thus maneuver you to his way of thinking without your even noticing it.

He will be able to fend for himself and protect his possessions. Remarkably observant, he can calculate his chances for getting his way. Instead of directly resisting rules, the subtle Rabbit will carefully devise ways around them. In short, this polite little angel is going to bargain for a better deal every time.

He can take reproach with a defiant or philosophical sort of indifference. Shrugging off his setbacks, the Rabbit will patiently start again from square one. Helpful at home, conforming in school and well-tuned to his environment, this child will know his way around people and problems. Rest assured he will be well-liked and accepted in all circles.

So maybe his lack of rowdiness in my uterus is a sign that he is going to be a calm, reflective child?  Or perhaps that is just wishful thinking and he'll come out raring to go after spending 40 weeks waiting peacefully to join us :)  One of my biggest curiosities is what his personality is going to be - I can't wait to find out!
