At first I though Chi Chi was clueless about this whole pregnancy thing. She would still jump up on my belly with little concern for it’s precious contents. Now when Chi Chi kicks or elbows the belly, Isabella kicks right back at her. But this changed last weekend. Chi Chi started this thing where she lays near my belly and seems to put her head, and more precisely her EAR right on my belly. I realize I’m probably overly humanizing her, but it looks like she is listening to my belly. Can she hear the heart beat? The swishing fluid sounds maybe? Even if it’s a coincidence, it’s down right adorable…
On the other hand, Minnie Pearl has been aware of my fragile belly for some time now. She acts weird when she is in bed and trying to get around me to the other side. She looks confused and walks back and forth trying to figure out how to get the other side without stepping on any part of me. She also acts protective and doesn’t snap at me, which she unfortunately used to do. But Minnie says that listening to the belly is just plain goofy and she’ll have no part of it. Now leave her alone.
