We have started calling this baby the lazy couch potato baby since its movements are so slow and gentle. It moves so softly that sometimes I get nervous that I haven't felt it move in awhile. I hear stories from pregnant friends that say their babies move all the time - that they feel kicks and punches constantly. This lazy baby just likes to turn and shift positions and I never really get any great forceful kicks. Well, that all changed yesterday when I had a bag of salt and vinegar chips. After 5 minutes of eating them the baby went crazy - I was getting kicks and punches on both my right and my left side and they were so strong they kind of hurt. So, I stopped eating them for about 15 minutes and the baby slowed down. I waited another 10 minutes and then ate a bunch more - within 5 minutes the crazy kicks started again. It was wild. I'm going to buy the biggest bag I can find and whenever i get nervous about kick counts I'm having some salt and vinegar to get this kid moving.

For some reason cherries do the same thing for me. I can gauge that within 10 minutes of eating them, the baby goes crazy. I think it must have to do with the insulin spike that particular food gives your body? Who knows!?
