19w5d

I was up when Jake got up this morning around 6:30. I had every intention of sleeping in, but as soon as I was awakened by him my stomach started rumbling. Apparently this baby is beginning to like food as much as his/her daddy. So, I got up to eat some breakfast. Lacking the twix bar which has been my staple breakfast food for the past two weeks, I settled for a granola bar and some cinnamon sugar toast.

As soon as he left for work I headed up to begin packing more stuff. I got the rest of the wedding books and papers packed up and then filled a couple of totes with some things I had brought from my parents house. Papers and old school assignments mostly and also some notes from friends.

About 11:30 I decided to take a shower and head off to Wal-mart for groceries and more totes. I picked up a lot of VERY expensive food items (it just kills me how we can spend so much on stuff we eat!!) and 3 more totes and headed home.

By this point I was so warn out that I just vegded on the couch until Jake got home. Once he got home he went out to mow the yard (or should I say hay field, yes it had been that long) and I headed off to get gas for the lawn mower. When I got to the gas station the price of gas had fallen to $2.49 and there were people EVERYWHERE!! Seeing as how they must know something about the shortage of gas that I did not, I filled up my tank along with the gas can and headed home.

After he finished mowing we sat down to watch another one of the movies we rented last night. While we were watching I felt this weird feeling in my stomach. "Jake, Jake... I think I just felt the baby move." Then it happened again in the same place. So, I'm pretty sure that is what I was feeling. It's strange, I kept waiting for the butterflies, and I have had a few flutterings in the past week, but nothing that I could say that is the baby.

When I felt this, I knew... that is the baby. Only it didn't feel like butterflies. It felt like someone taping me from the inside. Not painful, but very strange and wonderful all at the same time. I kept waiting all the way up until I went to bed for it to happen again, but it didn't.
