As I was lying on the couch watching TV with Landon tonight, I think I felt the baby for the first time. I'm not totally sure, but twice in about 10 minutes I felt this weird thing, like a bubble popping in my stomach, that was different from anything I've felt before. Too cool. :)
And, we're almost halfway there! We go back to the doctor this week, which I love, because so far every time we've gone has just been more reassurance that the baby is growing stronger and bigger, just like he/she should be. Hopefully this week will be more of the same! Then, in 3 weeks, we get to go in for THE ultrasound. :) We can't wait.
This week is the first week that I've started to, at times feel like I look like I look pregnant. I know that anyone walking down the street who didn't know probably wouldn't think it still, but I just feel like my stomach looks different. Weird.
Landon and I signed up today for the Cowtown half marathon in February and went for a run this afternoon in the 40 degree weather--it was cold!! Well, it was probably alright for Landon because he ran 10 miles and warmed up, but I ran/walked 6, because I'm trying not to overdo things and to keep my heartrate down (which is SO counter-intuitive!)--and it was COLD while I was walked! Oh well--it was nice to get outside and do something though. :)
Other than things like that, and my clothes getting tighter, I pretty much am still feeling normal again, which I am so thankful for. The only weirdness I've still got going on is that our garbage bags (they're the Febreze scented ones) make me feel sick because I can smell them when I walk in to the kitchen. For a while I was convinced that it was the trashcan that I was smelling, so I'm glad I figured it out before I went and bought a new trash can! I want to buy new trash bags but can't quite convince myself to yet, because we bought a BIG box of the ones we have now and we have a lot left, ha! I figure I'll switch when we run out. For now, I just light a candle and pretend I can't smell it. :)
Happy Monday!
You look great! Good thinking on the walk/jog/run thing- you don't want to overdue it, but you also want to keep your body healthy! Good luck on the Cowtown half marathon. I can't wait to hear what yall are having. I am thinking it's a girl for some reason.
