Not A lot

Not a lot has been happening as far as the pregnancy goes lately...except for the fact that I'm eating a lot. Thankfully all of my new maternity clothes still fit :-)

Something cool happened on Friday evening, though. Jon and I were sitting at the bar at a restaurant having a few beers...ok ok ok I was having water, he was having a few beers (trust me...he LOVES having a perma-DD for a while) and I felt popcorn popping in my belly. I grabbed Jon's hand and put it on my tummy and he felt it too and said "what the hell is that?" Uh, duh, honey, that's your kid!

I haven't felt a feeling like that since, but this morning while sitting at work, I felt the trademark fluttering that I've read about so much in my books. It definitely is the baby. I know it. Just a little movement, but very exciting.

I've also broken my wish for a total drug free pregnancy. I had to go on antibiotics this week for a minor bladder infection which didn't feel so minor. I really thought about not taking the meds, but the chances of the infection leading into my kidneys was too great and that is too scary...been there done that. Apparently, bladder infections are quite common during pregnancy. Another thing I wish I knew before...kinda like the 10 month thing. Sheesh!
