19 weeks

Great news! I felt the baby move and saw the baby move for the first time this last week!  On August 18th, while I was sitting in the movies, I was pretty sure I felt something odd.  You know that feeling you get when you are driving over a hill, yeah... that feeling.  I felt that a few times.  I didn't feel nervous or anxious and couldn't make sense of the feeling.

And then the next day, as I was sitting on the couch, I saw my belly jump.  AMAZING!  I think I laughed for probably 15 minutes.  Ray felt it and saw it too.  Words cannot describe how incredible it is.

On another note, I've had the last 3 days off and haven't done much.  I did, however, put together some tools for my Ava Anderson business that I started and I had my first party "Ava Anderson & Lemonade in the Park".  It went well.  I had some good friends come out to support me and try some of Ava's awesome products.  All in all, I spread the message to a few more people and feel good about it.

How far along? 19 weeks.
Maternity clothes? A mixture of both.  Definitely maternity pants.
Stretch marks? No.
Sleep? I hate that pillow I ordered.  It's 2x smaller than the picture looks and it's stiff.  It's supposed to be down alternative, down is not stiff.  I'm looking into more options.
Best moment this week? Feeling my littlel baby move.
Miss Anything? Dr Pepper.  Caffeine free Dr Pepper is not the same.
