Week 18

Gas bubble? No... no, that's something different. People most commonly refer to their first lil' feelings of the baby's movement as a "fluttering" or like butterflies in your stomach kind of feeling. To me if feels like a twitch. Like one of those involuntary muscle spasms you get... only this one's in your gut!

This has been a huge source of happiness for the past few days! I was caught smiling goofily in the middle of a conversation today at work, because I could feel the babes!


I've felt very very happy during this whole experience. I don't know if it's the extra hormones, yet I haven't been to weepy, but I'm just HAPPY! I've been thinking alot about all the things that make me happy right now, so I felt like writing them down.


Cali's HAPPY things:

• Baby "twitches"
• Being a care-free, non-confrontational person
• Sewing baby things
• Painting with a purpose
• The new (but very old) pea-green box that my I inherited (took from my parent's house)
  
• Nicki Minaj's song "Super Bass" - I blast my radio when it comes on!
• Thinking about all the things that my HF has blessed me with
• Shaved Ice - Tiger's Blood
• Texting during work... that's bad, but don't take it away from me - it makes me happy!
• Late night walks with my soul-mate
  
• Thinking about the fact that I'll know what baby is in another week!
• My vivid pregnancy dreams... though some have been lil' nightmares, so those ones are not good, but most are
• Spencer's Salsa Shack
• The happiness Bruce brings to my hubby (not the actual dog, he gives me more grief than happiness)
• Calendars... I need one in every room
