It's All Understood

The Jack Johnson concert was FAB!! We had a great time with Mat and Katy, and Jacks performance was unreal! He sounds better live than on his recordings. One little hang-up though: he didn't play my favorite song. Now, I know he has a gazillion songs and he can only play so many, but I was suitably disappointed that I didn't get to hear the BEST one. The name of the song is It's All Understood, and I put it on my playlist. Go ahead, have a listen. I think you'll find it very pleasing to the ears.

Back to the name of the song: It's All Understood. Well, it got me thinking and I think I now Understand why Jack didn't play it. I'm pretty sure he feels that it would only be appropriate to play it if it were just him and me, in a room, alone. I now understand. It's all understood. He felt that there were just too many selfish people there and they would've gotten the wrong idea about who the song was directed at.

Now, about the fetus in my belly. It just so happens that I felt it move for the first time on our way home from the concert. It was 2:16am and I was driving. I had drank a coffee an hour before, I had to pee, I was singing and doing Kegel exercises (trying to stay awake) when all of a sudden I felt this flutter...and immediately thought, "the baby". It couldn't have been anything else (except probably a dozen other things) and I was sure (questioning myself) that it was the baby! It could've been the loud music, the third-hand mary jane, the Kegels, the caffeine, or the fact that it knew I was dozing behind the wheel. Whatever it was, I'm happy to have felt it and hope to feel it again soon, but not too much...cause I bet it could get annoying, and I'm a complainer :)

Yep, totally felt the baby move. And I'm pretty sure it felt like it was moving from an Indian style sit to a full out stretch, but I can't be sure.

Losing sleep and gaining weight (brandi carlile), that's what I've been up to. And losing depth in my belly button. I think it pops out cause it gets in the baby's way and the baby inevitably has to push it somewhere...but again, I can't be too sure.


Here is a pic of a random pregnant woman in her 17th week that I found on the internet. It's not me, even if it kind of looks like me:

Oooh! That first little flutter! I thought I was having gas when I felt that, but no, it was him. Later, there will be no mistaking it as she/he stretches, kicks and punches... It will feel like someone is practicing kickboxing in your belly!

Just here to say I've been missing you--and am still so happy for you.
