~later~

We spent the evening cuddling in bed when I suddenly felt something against my stomach. Setting my hand on the bump, I felt it again: kicking.

"Hun, the baby is kicking," I said, which caused Touya to set his hand on the bump and smile when he felt the movements.

"Our little bird is definitely going to be more active," he said, and I nodded in response before falling asleep.

~The following day~

Recently, I've been noticing that when I take off to fly somewhere it hasn't been as easy as it used to be.

I decided to weigh myself to see if that was the issue and turns out the baby weight was making me too heavy to fly.

I made the choice to "ground" myself, at least until after the baby is born. I can still get around to do simple things, but flying for long distances or extended periods of time is not an option.

I talked over my decision with Touya, and he agreed that it would be safer if I didn't fly around as much as I used to for work and stuff.
