The sun has now shown on the Pacific Northwest (especially in my town) for 2 days now. It is wonderful! It is very chilly... but man is it nice to see the sun!! We were able to get all of the Christmas lights down and off the roof yesterday...now the work begins to put them all away. Right now the garage is filled..........
K and I went to Cama Beach Resort (on Camano Island) to check it out for a family get together possibly. I had heard about this resort in the Sunset Magazine over a year ago and have been really interested in seeing it. It wasn't really all I had hoped it would be - but it was a dry place to stay and somewhat warm. LOL
These cabins were built in the 1930's and are now on the historic registry. They re-did them but had to keep them as original as possible. Nonetheless, there was major air cracks in the door, the heater did the loudest THUD every time it came on and off......(hence why I woke up Saturday morning and said "I'm ready to go home!") We were somewhat smart on Saturday night and cranked the heat then went to bed. 2 hours later got up to go to the bathroom....... and it was already 50 degrees in the cabin!!
The nice thing with the cabins is they had a shower and a bathroom, sink, microwave and a fridge. It was $42 a night with a view of the water (and about 75 feet away!) It really was a fun time and I could see how in the summer it'd be even more spectacular.
Nonetheless, it isn't for the family........
Sure is nice having the day off today..... although we did go to work for a few hours, it still is nice. We then went to Costco to get kitty items and then came home. We'll probably go for a walk in a bit........I need to start doing something. Maybe I'll look into swimming or yoga or something. I know the more I'm in shape now.....the better I'll be for birth.
Speaking of birth........ some days I feel pregnant, other days I question it - nice huh? There are just sometimes where it seems so real, my stomach feels so big, and I just KNOW I'm pregnant. Then days like today when I don't FEEL so big, and just wish I'd grow a belly....... am kind of anxious for my midwife appointment on the 29th to hear the heartbeat again hopefully. I've felt the baby........ but still want the reassurance of the heartbeat.
For those who have been pregnant, what did your first kicks feel like? I'm 15 weeks so it may still be a bit early for kicks.... but was it like a nudge? a painful poke? I'm just curious what to expect......
Mom's been having some gallbladder issues for about a month now...... (she's been on a special diet and now adding back in fat is causing some issues) so she'll be going in on Friday to remove her gall bladder.
Dad's been having some pain in his upper stomach/under breastbone too........ he may be having the same issues.......(on the same diet)...... so we'll see what happens.
I'll post some pictures of the cabin in my next post..........

With each one I felt the movement for the first time at different weeks. With Ky (3) and Claire (4) I knew right away. At first it felt like butterflies were flying around in my belly. Then they start to get heavier (more like tiny bumps) as you go further along. By the time I was ready to give birth to Tori (1) she kept sticking her feet in my ribs and oh man did that hurt. Savor your time now. The second trimester is the best. You arent so big that you cant see your feet and you get really tired carrying around a whole other person.
I would have to say that it feels just like you would think it feels. I feel (what I picture at least!!!) a big head pushing, or bumping me. I feel arms and legs every now and then, but at this point you will just feel a bump now and then. It will get painful the last few weeks, but until then it is just wonderful. I love it when they get hiccups, when you are really big you will feel them all the time. As for now, you should just feel bumps. One now, then in 2 weeks, it will be one an hour. You wont remember what it felt like to not have that person bumping around in that belly of yours!!!!!
First baby movements felt a lot like air bubbles in the intestinal tracks...okay, yes, gas bubbly kind of feeling.;) It is still really early. Soon you will feel that "for sure" baby movement feeling and there is really nothing else like it. And it never got painful for me (and for a lot it doesn't). If your baby is in a good, comfortable position you should not feel pain at all. I know...as clear as mud right?
