I never thought that gas prices would ever fall below $2.00 in my life time again. At $1.97 and even cheaper in neighboing towns I almost feel like I could own a truck now and afford to drive it. I don't even remember how long ago it was that they were that price. But it sure is a relief from the $3.99 we were paying over the summer. Since gas prices have continued to drop I have been more reluctant to fill my whole tank up since every day they seem to go down even further. On Monday or Tuesday I only put about $5.00 in my tank and it will last me well into next week (I only drive about 7 miles to work each day). Maybe prices will fall even further by then.
On with more exciting news....... I think that I finally felt "movement" with the baby. I have been asked at each OB appointment if I have felt movement and finally I think I have. It is quite a strange feeling. Almost like I swallowed a large goldfish and it is swimming around trying to find a way out. It is like nothing I have ever felt before or imagined like it would feel.
On Tuesday we have our ultrasound. I am getting more and more excited. My stomach is getting larger (not large by Josh's system of measurement - he rubbed my belly today and said that we must be having a little baby) but I think it is growing. My pants are no longer comfortable around my waist and it is getting difficult to dress myself in the morning. However, now that it is winter and I am wearing large sweaters it is easy to cover up and undo a button or two if I have to. However, I still haven't told anyone that I work with. I think that I like being mysterious and keeping a secret that only I know. Or maybe I am just too much of a recluse to want people asking me question all the time. Maybe it is a little bit of both. However, I do think that it will be interesting to see the look on some of their faces when I come back to work after the long Holiday break. By the time Christmas is over I will be 6 months along.
