I apologize for being invisible blogger! I’ve been swamped with family stuff, house stuff and work stuff. It seems I actually have to *gasp* WORK while at work! Lately I’ve been staying late, so when it’s time to get home I’m exhausted.
To be honest, I’ve been slacking around the house as well, Paul has been doing the laundry and I’ve just been tossing piles of clean clothes around- from the basket to the bed with the intent of folding it all. Then, it appears bedtime has snuck up on me, and I toss the clothes back into the basket. Don’t even get me started on dinner- anyone have an easy dinner idea they’d care to share (without the use of a crockpot)? I will hopefully be going to the Farmer’s Market today, and will be around some gorgeous fruits and veggies, if that gives anyone ideas!
Let’s see what else is happening… I think I felt some movement last night. I had just eaten some pudding (which I think is my go-to snack lately), and grabbed a glass of paradise iced tea- decaf. Since I had been feeling crampy/achey in my lower abdomen all day, I thought I’d get up on the pile of clothes I call a bed and relax. As is the case with almost all naps I take, I rested my palm on my lower belly and settled in to watch The Simpsons. As I was sitting there I felt a squirm deep in my belly. I didn’t move, but kind of took stock of what was going on. Yep, there it was again, the feeling that something was moving around. Unfortunately that was the last time I felt it, but wow!
As I mentioned, my lower abdomen has really been hurting lately. It doesn’t feel like cramps, really, more like achey and sore. If I understand correctly, this is round ligament pain- my uterus is stretching to make room for baby. Of course, this makes me happy and I’ll gladly withstand the aches for this opportunity!
So, it’s officially ONE WEEK until the baby’s sex is hopefully found out! I can’t believe I’m 19 weeks pregnant.
