As of today, I am 19 weeks and 2 days along in my pregnancy and I don't even feel pregnant!! AUGH!!

No one can even tell that I am pregnant....HECK, I can't even tell I am pregnant!! I haven't got even a pooch and if it weren't for the rock solid pelvic area and (forgive me) the unimaginable gas, I would go for a second opinion. People who know I am pregnant walk up to me and say, "Now, how far along are you?" And when I tell them they look at me in disbelief and ask me when I am going to start showing.

The only thing comforting me is the fact that my mom said it took forever for her to finally start showing and then my dad said you could only tell from the front. (I guess that meant that she didn't get big enough to "waddle".

Anyway, I spazzed last week and called the doctor. I left her this message, that I am sure was hardly understandable, but I went on and on about how I kept getting these cramps and other things that no one else really wants to hear about and I told her I wanted to come in for a check up. (My main concern was that I have 3 other friends who are the same amount of weeks along and they have already started feeling baby.) Well, she called me today, Monday, which when I think about it was probably a good thing since I was on some extreme amount of hormones and probably was not in the right frame of mind to really be talking logically to anyone. SHe told me not to worry and that the fact that I haven't felt anything yet could be because the "after birth" may be between my stomach wall and the baby so it will take the baby being a little stronger for me to be able to feel it. She answered all my other questions and told me to come in if I needed to.

So, one thing I left out was the fact that WE FELT THE BABY!!! Yes, I said we. My husband and I felt the baby for the first time.....together. He was laying on my stomach telling the baby that if it was a boy he was going to join the PGA and if it was a girl....well, the LPGA. (Yeah, the hubby is obsessed with golf) Anyway, he laid his head down on my stomach and I feel this brush, I guess is how I would describe it, across the inside of my stomach. At first I thought it was his jaw bone but then he said, "Did you feel that?" YEEE!!! Yes I felt it!!! "It wasn't you?" I asked.... "You promise?!?!?!"

It was the baby, it's official. I think it kind of put things somewhat in a new light for both of us. It became more real, I think.....ahh amazing!

So, that's the latest. I know I said I would fill you in with the details of how we came to this point, but that'll have to wait. I have way way WAY too much homework.

Bye all!
