I've felt a lot of kicking this week. I can only imagine how tiny the baby's foot is judging by the tiny kicks that I'm getting. I swear yesterday the baby was doing the back stroke through my stomach! So far I'm the only one who can feel these kicks. Although I have a child that I work with who has become very snuggly with me since I've become pregnant. I swear he feels something in my stomach that no one else can because he will sit on my lap for 15 minutes if I let him (he's not typically a snuggly kid!). Eric is a little bummed that he can't just touch my stomach and feel the baby too but he can't get enough of how my stomach is growing. I'm starting to feel more like a mom this week. There's no doubt that I'm pregnant if you look at me and feeling the baby makes it all feel real.
Next week is a big week so this week has been dragging for me. Tuesday is election day which I'm excited for. Wednesday we find out whether this little peanut in my belly is a boy or a girl (that is if the baby cooperates!). Friday I have a job interview for a different job within the company I work for. And of course Saturday is moving day! We have a lot to do for this move. Hopefully we'll get a lot accomplished this weekend.
Happy Halloween!... and Happy Birthday Sydney Rose!

We have a place to live, phew!
Eric and I put a deposit on an apartment today, phew! I really am sick of moving and hate the process of finding an apartment so I'm glad that was over quickly. We are moving back to Westboro into a townhouse apartment. It is really nice and will feel like a home instead of an apartment. I can't wait to get settled there. Then we can finally use all of our wedding gifts and get the baby room set up (that's the funnest part!). You can see pictures of the model apartment if you click on this link: http://www.windsorcommunities.com/Apartment/floorplans.aspx?PropID=25®ion=MA&floorPlanID=434
On another note... I threw up for the first time tonight. I really hate throwing up so keep your fingers crossed that that is the first and last time (yes I am aware that other women who threw up throughout their entire pregnancy hate me right for being upset that I threw up once!). I hadn't felt like eating much today but I decided to feed the baby a salad tonight. However, something about the crouton I ate made me gag. Normally when I gag I can talk my body out of throwing up but I knew this time it was inevitable. Eric was fast asleep and so I ran to the bathroom and somehow (if anyone knows how deeply my husband sleeps you will be very impressed with this next part) Eric woke up and came running in and immediately pulled my hair back for me and then when he knew I was ok he got me a water. Granted he climbed right back into bed while I was recovering in the bathroom and fell back asleep but it was nice that he was there during the crucial moment. What a good hubby :) I think I'll keep him ;)

The wedding and the pregnancy
On September 27th, 2008, Eric and I got married at Maxwell Silverman's Toolhouse in Worcester at 6pm. It was pretty stressful leading up to the ceremony but once it was time to walk down the aisle I was sooo excited and I couldn't wait to see Eric. Everything went well that night with a few minor mistakes but none too big to ruin the big day. It was so nice to have all of our friends and family in one room at the same time. I wish that could happen more often. We still look at each other and I can't believe that we are husband and wife. I have officially changed my name to Sarah Elizabeth Hamelin. It is really weird and I still have to think about it when I sign my name. It's kind of an identity crisis... when you go by one name your whole life and then your name changes, I have a slight sense that no one will know who I am anymore. I know it's a silly thought. So on to the next business.... finding a place to live :)
So far things are going well with the pregnancy. As of tomorrow I will be 15 weeks along. I have a little belly but if someone doesn't know I'm pregnant it just looks like I'm getting lazy and gaining weight :). I have another doctors appointment tomorrow. My mom is coming with me to hear the baby's heart beat. On a funny note, one of the grandmother's of a child I work with said to me today "So Sarah when were you planning on telling me that you're pregnant??" I had no idea that she knew this whole time! I wanted to tell her, I just couldn't figure out how to bring it up. One of the weird things about this pregnancy is talking about it and telling people about it. Not necessarily because it was a surprise pregnancy but because I think it is so strange that there is a child growing inside me and I have to give birth to it on or around March 30th. It is so strange to see my body change and to hear a heart beat in my stomach. In a month we find out what we're having... :)
