I have to admit I've been a little anxious about not feeling the babies move. Since this is my first pregnancy I really didn't know what I was feeling for. I'm currently 19 weeks and thought I'd feel them by now. Every mom I know said, "You'll know it when you feel it." What the heck does that mean? Will Samuel or Isaiah punch me in the side, kick my ribs, make me toot, what? I've been told it will feel anywhere to like butterflies in my stomach, a drop like a roller coaster ride or the smallest, faintest little thing. Well until today I've felt nothing. While at work and sitting at the computer I got up to make some cookies for guests. (I swear they weren't for me!) While in the kitchen I could feel what felt like a roll of something on my left side. I've had the same feeling before, but all those times I thought they were just gas. I'm sure I've been right about that but today there was no mistaking that was one of my boys. What a cool feeling. I immediately called Jorge at home to tell him that I was 100% sure I'd felt they babies move. While all this seems so cool for the moment, I know the day is coming where I will look at my belly and think I have the entire European Soccer League inside my stomach.
Sleeping is getting a little harder. My back is hurting more and more the bigger I get. Just can't seem to get comfortable even with the millions of pillows proping up every part of my body. My hope is I won't be put on bed rest and out of work too early before the babies are due.
Each day I'm still amazed that God has blessed me with not only one baby, but two. While others have laughed and said better you than me, I have no doubt we'll do great. I've never known what it's like to care for just one baby, so I'm hoping it will become routine to take care of two. I'll get back to you on that one!
