The big presentation is over - it went rather well, though I felt like I was scattered and all over the place (how do you cover a sprawling huge issue like "sexuality" in just 2 hours????). The few evaluations I glanced at while collecting papers looked very positive. So, if the audience was happy, I am (reasonably) happy. I got to tell some good stories and an excellent sex ed joke too, so that is always a nice thing.
In other news, the Electric Baby is trying to mambo her way right out of my body. This morning, she was kicking so hard that I wasn't sure how I'd get any work done because it was so distracting. Now she is.... doing the splits or something? I'm feeling strong movement simultaneously at opposite ends of my belly. Thankfully, this is the week in which movements peak at the most vigorous level - she has gained enough strength to really pow, and also has room to wind up to do it well. After this week, as she continues to grow, she will start running out of room for the big wind-up, and eventually, the big kick as well.
All y'all who have never been pregnant - don't read this as complaining about something totally awful. Feeling the kicks is truly a wonderful thing - usually - and I generally love it. It's totally amazing and weird to feel something moving and know what it is (I usually say hello to her when she's moving around, and sometimes start talking to her). It's just occasionally she takes things too far and it gets a tad uncomfortable. But it's still amazing. :)
