In The Blink Of An Eye

I Forgot To Remember

Omg I am actually having a little boy!!! I couldn't believe it. I know Jake was going to be so sad that he didn't get to come for the ultrasound but I had to make sure everything was okay. I really wanted to surprise Lilli and Jake by telling them the sex of the baby but I didn't want to just blur it out. My siblings and dad were coming to visit at the beginning of December so I will just wait and surprise them all together.

On my way home I felt like I was going to cry from how excited and happy I was. I couldn't believe that we were going to be having a little boy join our family. All the sudden out of nowhere I remembered the apartment that Jake and Lilli showed me. My head started to throb in pain so I pulled over as quickly as possible. I felt like a million different pictures were flashing in front of my eyes and I couldn't make out a single one. Wow, the headache was terrible!!! I felt this sharp shooting pain from the top of my head all the way down my spine.

Why was there only two bedrooms in the apartment when he already knew that I was pregnant and that the baby would need a nursery??

It was one thing when we were staying at a hotel and had no plan of moving anywhere soon. But the fact that he went and got us an apartment with only two bedrooms made no sense. Maybe I was confusing the number of the rooms, after all my head was killing me. I didn't know how I was going to get back to the hotel if my headache didn't subside at least a little bit.

Finally after ten, fifteen minutes my headache got better. I just wanted to make it back to the hotel where I could get some rest. I hardly got any sleep so that was probably the reason why my head was hurting along with the stress and the pregnancy hormones. God, this little boy was kicking my butt. My pregnancy with Lilli was so much smoother and easier compared to this one. They do say that boy and girl pregnancies are quite different in many things. According to old wives tales morning sickness with girls is a lot worse, which for me it's the exact opposite. Supposedly with a boy baby your belly looks more like a basketball but my belly was like that with Lilli and this time around, I hardly had a belly at all. I mean I was still pretty early on and had a lot of time to pop but at seventeen weeks with Lilli, I had a pretty big belly already. One thing that is pretty accurate is the cravings I had with Lilli and the ones I am having right now. With Lilli all I wanted was sweet. I didn't care if it was ice-cream or cake or donuts, all I wanted was something sweet. Whereas now with this baby, all I want is salty stuff. Like right now... I would kill for a bag of pretzels with extra salt. I don't even want to mention how with Lilli I was extremely moody and sensitive. Good lord I could break out in full blown tears if someone even looked at me not to mention said something.

When I walked into the hotel room Lilli and Jake were sitting and eating. By the look he gave me I knew something was up. He didn't say anything in front of Lilli and acted as normal as usual.

"Hi honey. How were your errands?"

"Fine. I didn't find what I was looking for. But I did get us some ice cream and snacks. I thought maybe we could all watch a movie later on."

"That sounds great."

"Can I pick the movie??" Asked Lilli.

"Of course sweetheart. We can watch whatever you want."

I went to the room to get changed. I wasn't even done changing when I heard Jake behind me.

"Where were you?" He asked.

"I already told you. I went to the store!"

"And you couldn't find anything you were looking for??"

"Nope! They didn't have it. I'm sorry, is that a crime? Why are you investigating me?"

"Do you know what I hate more than anything? You, lying to me! Now how about you tell me where you really were."

"I already told you and I am not going to repeat myself again."
