What what?

Granted, I'm not sure as I've never felt it before, but I MAY be feeling Yoda-Monster kick.

The first time it happened was on the plane ride home, but I wasn't sure if it's b/c the tummy was getting upset or what...but then it happened again yesterday several times. And here's all I can think of to compare it to... It's, like, the opposite of a cramp. For the first few months, the tummy was upset a lot of the time. Sometimes it would be roll-ey, sometimes it would be hot-owie, sometimes it would be really crampy, sometimes there just seemed to be a LOT of tension, etc. Well, this isn't painful at all...and it's not like a cramp...it's like the opposite of a cramp. So instead of feeling like my insides are somewhat collapsing on themselves/curling up into a ball, it feels like something's expanding quickly and then will stop. Weird. I guess we'll see next week at the ultrasound if that is, in fact, what it is or not...although I'm not sure if/when it will happen again.

Plus, I guess today marks 19 weeks. Thank God I'm about half-way there to meeting my wee-one.

Who cares if it's pathetic?

1) I've only thrown up once in the past month, if I remember correctly. And it wasn't so bad b/c it was at my parent's house instead of my own (even though I think it's more than I've ever thrown up at one time in my entire life...I didn't know I ate that much in a week!!!)

2) I was uber-excited because I ordered the baby diapers before we went on our trip and they were at the house by the time we came back. I had to stay up late to open them up and go through them. How fun!

3) I believe we have all of our big items at our house. We got the crib and changing table for $75 secondhand. We just got a rocker-glider this week used for $25. I got a massive amount of cloth diapers (what I wanted) for $375. I got a never-used breast pump for $150 (normally $230 as it's hard-core and has great reviews). And I've gotten quite a few clothes and whatnot from freecycle and/or craigslist for inexpensive. Oh yeah, AND I got an exersaucer and a pack'n'play for free from freecycle. Cool, says I.
