I’m back.
I didn’t actually mention that I was going away, but I went to Vegas this week with my mom. We got there Monday, and I got home Thursday night. It was a fun trip, and I think we saw every casino and every store in town. I feel like we walked at least 5 miles each day, and my feet were killing me by the evenings. My energy level has been really good lately though, and I don’t have any more nausea at all, so the timing was really good for this trip. I didn’t have any trouble keeping up.
While I was away, I could start to feel like there was something in my abdomen when I bent over, which was kind of a weird feeling. Today I can feel what feels like a round, hard mass in my belly. Although I’ve felt a few questionable twinges, I haven’t felt anything yet that I can definitely call fetal movement. I can definitely tell the baby is growing in there though, so hopefully that will happen soon.
I have an appointment with the midwife on Tuesday, although I think it will be pretty uneventful. This will be my first appointment with her in 6 weeks, and I think I will start going every 4 weeks after this. As I have mentioned, we have the big ultrasound on the 26th, so I’m pretty much counting down the days until we know if we’re having a son or daughter. I probably won’t be able to sleep at all the night before that because I will be so excited!
