My oldest child was a crazy, super-psycho acrobat in the womb and we’ve always tried to explain to him how crazy it was to see him moving around in there like that! It just is one of those things that you have to see to really get, though, you know? Well, tonight, I headed over to YouTube looking for Clint Eastwood clips and somehow wound up on baby videos! LOL! I think there was a suggested video for me of a cute, giggly baby or something and one thing led to another….

And I wound up on some totally awesome ‘Crazy Kickin’ Babies’ videos! I’m so happy to have found them, because, now I can show Patrick how nutty it truly was! Seriously! There was one day I was lying on the couch and it was freaking me out so much and the little monster just wouldn’t stick that foot back in there and I had to holler for Mark to come from the kitchen and ‘make him’ go back! I’ll never, ever forget that moment! I laugh about it now, it absolutely cracks me up – but, I can tell you that I was more than a little freaked at the time!

Ok, on to the videos! Here’s a little short one that is really cute, the mom says, ‘it’s actually kind of creepy’. Little does she know it can get MUCH worse! Ha!

There’s more after the jump!
Here’s another short one, that’s a little more ‘gruesome’ (heehee!)

Horse mamas deal with it, too! (This actually looks more like the foal has the hiccups. That’s another thing Patrick did in the womb – hiccups, twice a day, without fail. Do horses get the hiccups?)

Here’s two ‘Alien Babies’, as described by the video owners:
Alien Baby #1

Alien Baby #2

Now this one – oh. my. gawd. This is the perfect one for me to show Patrick!! And the crazy thing is, this mom is not at all spooked by it – she is so sweet, just loving on her baby! Cracks me up! I was hollering, “Patrick! Get back in there!!!!” This mom is so calm …..and sweet …..and soothing. Too funny! (One thing to realize, too, though – is that she has the ‘sticky out’ pregnant belly button, so some of what you’re seeing is just her belly button.)

I found these videos just thirty minutes after Patrick left for his friend’s house for their New Year’s Eve party! I almost called him to make him watch right. this. minute. But I held myself back. His friends know how crazy I am, so it wouldn’t have been too out of character, really. Ha! I’ll show him when he gets home, though. It’s gonna be great!

And the funny thing was, my next baby, Shawn – was so. darn. calm. that I kept going to the doctor’s office practically hysterical asking him to put me on the monitor to check and make sure he was alright! There was this one little 3-inch diameter circle on my left side that Shawn would gently tap saying, in a whisper, of course, “Hello Momma. Hello.” And that was pretty much it – for most of the pregnancy. I swear – Patrick ruined me. I thought all babies were supposed to be psycho alien babies!

I hope you’ve enjoyed these videos and had as much fun as I had watching them! I’d love to know in the comments how much your babies kicked!
