All the time. Whenever I’m standing in place. I sway. Back and forth, back and forth.
It started when I was a few months pregnant. There I’d be, in the shower, trying to wake up, trying to decide what to wear, thinking about the day ahead and … why am I swaying?
Even when I realized it and tried to stop, I couldn’t. Some magnetic force was pulling my hips from side to side. Like I was rocking my itty bitty baby.
I figured that once Ryan was born, it would stop. Baby is out, strange biological urge to sway should disappear. Nope, the swaying it still happening. Regularly. I’m swaying in my chair right now because I’m writing about swaying and the urge to sway is overwhelming and I can’t fight it.
I thought this was weird. I thought I was the only one. Until I talked to a mom friend of mine who bounces. If she’s standing, she’s bouncing. Her son is 4. As in, years old. And she’s still bouncing.
I sway, he licks bibs. We all have our ‘thing.’
Oh my gosh I have tons of pictures of Kyle doing that same thing! Aw it brings back memories. And I sway too, even when holding one of our guinea pigs lol 🙂
Lol, I'm not even preggo or a mommy & I sway! Sometimes I wonder if people notice it, ahha. Cute pic of you two!
Glad I'm not the only one, haha!
My mom's best friend came to meet Elle and Abby, and my mom called her out for swaying when she saw the babies (the woman has one 33-year-old daughter). I didn't do it until I had Elle, but now whenever I am standing near her or another baby, I totally sway. I fear I'm going to be like my mom's friend in 30 years.
It's an epidemic!
I sway! I totally sway! Mostly around babies or when I think about babies. I blame the uterus.
This is gorgeous. Best blog post yet!
Hahaa, I think swaying is universal. Thanks for your great comment on Social Moms. I am following you now!

Yep, I totally sway. I also can be at the grocery store with no kids, and I still move the cart back and forth, like I would to keep that “swaying motion” for the baby in the cart…that isn't there.
I think we all do it!
Haha, Sarah, I do the same thing with the cart. It's good to know I'm not alone. 😉
