• Exciting news that I'm too slow to update on. My father in law is buying us our trip to Mexico in the new year. We go every year anyway, but gotta love the fact that we don't have to pay for airfare this time around. We'll see how I do down there. Normally I quite enjoy the humid heat when we go, it's the part I look forward to the most, but being at least 20 weeks pregnant might make me change my mind on that. I look forward to showing up with a biggish belly. Our Mexican friends have been waiting for us to get pregnant. We've already told our closer Mexican friends, Carlos and Carlos, but I'm hoping those at the beach front bar, Bigote's, we frequent don't know yet. Hell, I'm hoping that Bigote's is still there since Melaque got pummeled by a typhoon earlier this year and lot of places flooded. Half of the beach front of Barra de Navidad was taken out, but I'm not sure how Melaque fared. Anyway, usually we have tickets booked by now and it's just a matter of waiting, but this time around I was wondering if we were even going to go and disappointment was starting to set in already. Instead Nate just needs to find two weeks to book off of work and we're in business.

  Nate said there is a chance that no parents will be around this time, that we'll just go and have the house to ourselves. That would be so awesome. We could use the master bedroom where the king sized bed has a much comfier mattress. Mexican mattresses tend to be really hard and the guest bed is a little on the hard side for my liking. Not to mentioned we've never gone to Mexico as just the two of us, we always go to visit and stay with family. Since this will be our last trip anywhere childless, it would be that much better if it were the two of us.

  So, I may sounds crazy, but I think I can feel my baby moving already. Since I've read about other ladies feeling fluttering starting at around 9 or 10 weeks (though they already had other children) I've been trying to see if I could too. I have to stop what I'm doing and look for it, but I feel this tickly feeling right around where my uterus should be. It's so faint and subtle that it's totally easy to miss, but it feel different from gas. I know when I'm about to fart and this feel different, tiny and different.

  I'm already starting to feel big. I can certainly feel my enlarged and hard uterus in there. When I move certain ways it's like I have something in the way. I can't even imagine what it's going to be like when it's bigger and growing out front. I already look like I'm pregnant because I had a "pot belly" to begin with. All I can say that I definitely feel pregnant now and all the time. My boobs have been more consistently sore too. I'm getting a weird prickly feeling every now and then.
