Not too much going on around here - in the first half of pregnancy, but 2nd tri... You know how it goes, not a lot happens around this time LOL
Definitely looking preggo, at least to myself and DH now... And baby is having a growth spurt right now! I can tell by how hungry I am LOL
The best thing that has happened recently... I haven't seen anything on my credit card statement yet, but I think baby ordered a copy of "Fetal Tae-Bo" from Billy Blanks because HOLY COW s/he is kicking me like CRAZY!
And I mean STRONG kicks. Already. Waking me up in the middle of the night if I roll too far onto my belly, getting into a routine where she kicks like mad around 2PM and 11PM, then on and off throughout the day... I've even felt her kick from the OUTSIDE and OMG - I swear I saw a kick yesterday! Just a tiny little pop, if I wasn't paying such close attention I never would have seen it but it looked like when you can see someone's pulse under their skin, but only once instead of repeatedly. I laughed so hard! LOL
Our 18-20 week ultrasound is booked for March 31st, which will unfortunately be at 20.5 weeks instead of 18-20 but whatever, my doc booked it late LOL
We've decided (well, DH did) that if we are told the gender, thats good, if they won't tell us though we won't go and get a 3d u/s we'll just wait. So we may be finding out after all, depending on how the clinic works
No belly pic since my 16 week pic, too much work to do right now to go and get the camera, take a pic, upload it, etc. but I'll maybe get DH to take one of me later or one with both of us (great idea Marci!) and put it here and in my journal.
The nausea looks like it is finally starting to subside, I'm down to 2 Diclectin/day (at night) instead of 2 at night one in the morning, today is my last day of 2 then I'm weening down to one, and we'll see what happens. Still sitting right around 160 lbs, but I had gained 3 lbs at my last prenatal (12 weeks - 16 weeks) so I am gaining, just slowly... I'm sure baby will make up for that later LOL
Could be in with a midwife as well, my prenatal class instructor has an "in" with a midwifery group out in Langley and they said they will try to take me on, so I could get my home birth or Abbotsford hospital birth after all! Exciting to see what happens with that, and enjoying the prenatal classes so far... Very educational about my emotions related to childbirth, I'm enjoying that.
Glad to see all the babies and preggos progressing along so nicely, I love to see my girls sounding so happy!
Anyhow I'm rambling now, I don't even think I've done an update this long in my journal in forever LOL - Hope all my girls are doing well today!
