19 Weeks 4 days

Ok, so today may or may not have been a monumental day. I may (or may not) have felt Tomato move. I am still having the "funny feeling (blow farts)" in my belly. It happens at least 10 times a day. Well, today at work, it was really strong so I put a little pressure on my belly. I swear I felt something. It wasn't like a kick, it was more of a rolling feeling. I go so excited (and freaked out).

Neil had jury duty today, so he was home when I got home from work. I went straight into the kitchen and ate an orange. For some reason, after I eat an orange that feeling gets strong and crazy. Each time it happened, I would grab Neils hand, but he doesn't feel anything. I can only feel it in the inside now that I'm home. Darn it! I need someone to tell me if this is Tomato or not.

I've consulted a few people to determine what else might be causing these weird feelings. The only other guess is some super gas. I'm pretty sure that is not what it is (even if it was, I would not admit it!). After digging a little more into the gas idea, it has been determined that it can't be gas. As soon as these feelings start and I push on it, it stops. It was super gas, I'm sure me pushing on it would not cause it to stop (it would probably make it worse). So, it's back to the drawing board. Is this Tomato or what is it?????

I try to get Neil to understand what it feels like so today I gave him a raspberry (blow fart) on his belly and said it's just like that but on the inside. (I think it helped get the point across.)

I hope to pictures on here soon. Unfortunatley, I have a difficult time getting someone to take the picture. Neil laughs each time he see's my belly!

19 weeks 1 Day

Ok, I have finally given into the pressure (and stopped procrastinating). People keep asking me for updates on what's going on inside my belly. I've been keeping a diary/journal of things since the day I peed on the stick, but Neil told me that is "old school blogging". I guess I need to get with the times, so we'll give this a shot.

As of today, I am 19 weeks and 1 day. I can not believe that in 6 more days I'll be half way done. Time is going by way to fast! I am definitely done being pregnant (it hasn't been as much fun as I had hoped). As my mom says, I should just be happy I'm not an elephant.

This week the baby is the size of a heirloom tomato. For those who don't know the size of a heirloom tomato, apparently it is about 6 inches and weighs 8.5 ounces. This week it's brain is continuing to grow and it's senses are becoming more noticeable. It might be able to recognize my voice. I asked Neil if he would start talking to my belly so the tomato could learn his voice too. He's pretty sure that's not going to happen. I guess Auntie JoJo is going to have to come over a lot since she REALLY enjoys talking to my belly (after calling me a fatty ha ha ha). She'll just have to leave the boys at home so they don't get creeped out.

I just realized that this is the first week since becoming preggo that I haven't had a migraine! That calls for a celebration! (Don't think I got off easy, I had a flu thing on Monday and Tuesday).

I'm not sure if I have felt Tomato move or not. The last few days I have been having a weird feeling that I think could be it. You know when you give someone a blow fart or a raspberry? Well, it kind of feels like that except from the inside. It has been happening a lot in the last 2 days.

Ok, I'm not sure how long these are supposed to be, so I think I'll quit for today. Plus, my breakfast is almost ready!
