Wiggle room

      Last night I had a grilled cheese and garlic pickle sandwich for dinner, followed by a glass of milk.I felt a weird sensation in my lower belly.
Todays lunch was the same thing -because it's easier when making Thanksgiving treats. Same thing happened.
I have been pretty sure that I have been feeling K kick and wiggle for a while, despite what other people have been saying I should be feeling; and what I said was feeling was wrong.

     Talking to my coworker who just passed her 26th week, I described awhile ago what I was feeling as someone just lightly flicking me. She said that could be it. A 36 week woman at work said it couldn't be and I would know when I felt the flutters. Well, no flutters for me. Since May (apparently when I concieved) I have been noticing a giant pulse in my stomach that seems to take over. If there were any flutters, I had a feeling that they got lost.

      Being the curious kind of person I am, and wanting answers, I turned to Google. I am pleased to announce that I did infact feel her move, specially when my brain said she was moving.
It feels to me like a muscle twitch, like the feeling when your eye spasms ALOT.

My Google find

20 Weeks

Yesterday, I hit 20 weeks. So far, no movement that I can tell.
I clearly look pregnant. I ran into a old customer of mine at Tim Hortons. She was wondering what I was doing on the VERY far side of town - working. She asked me what I was going to be doing with my life, and I said "being a mommy". Her response as she looks at my belly:"Oh...I was wondering".

I have picked up a few books to read to my belly; GUESS HOW MUCH I LOVE YOU and THE PAPER BAG PRINCESS. I feel like a tard doing it, but I do it anyway.The cats listen. I have yet to find the book I really want: PENELOPE PENGUIN: THE INCREDIBLY GOOD BABY. I had a copy from when I was little that my Grandma gave me, but I'm having a hard time tracking down another copy (I think mine got put in the basement - ew).

I feel like I am getting a cold. Everyone seems to be sick. My boyfriend is, my coworkers are, everyone is. I went to Shoppers lastnight to pick up day time cold meds for the guy, and their shelves were basically empty. Hopefully I only get my version of a cold: a head ache, snuffles, and sneezing. It's a much better cold than my boyfriend who gets Man-Cold and basically is dead.

I need to start getting ready for work. I am heading out early to get a monthly bus pass and pee in a cup. Apparently my last urine test was contaminated. Ugh. At least it's FRIDAY!
