20 weeks...halfway there!

Wow...almost hard to believe I'm halfway there!! Which means I still have 20 more weeks before I can drink again..ugh. Baby's new trick this week is called punching/kicking mom's full bladder. Not so pleasant when sitting on a plane with the fasten seat belt sign illuminated. I'm sure this will pale in comparision to the rib kicks I'll be getting in the coming months.

Here is photo of me going out on the town in Chicago.

19 weeks + 1 day...Don't get cocky...

Just when I thought I was past the sick stage...my stomach decided to show me who was boss. I learned not to under-estimate the power of balanced meals throughout the day otherwise you might reject everything you put in it that day. Not the best way to end a day!

I ordered a Moby Wrap this week and hope to practice with it soon using a doll. I love the concept of baby wearing and hope this baby doesn't mind it. I also got some cloth diapers in a few different brands and have been researching what will work best for us. Yes, I'm a little granola!

I started feeling baby a little this week especially after some OJ or at night when I read in bed. Chris is anxious to be able to feel the baby movement from the outside.

18 weeks + 6 days...148 days to go

Finally starting to feel human in the last week. It feels nice to want to eat some food again. I haven't gained any weight which is a nice but I'm sure that will change now that I'm eating real amounts. Trying to be careful since I already had some pounds to spare before getting pregnant.

Had a great doctor's appointment today. Baby's heartbeat is perfect. All my screening tests look awesome so our risks of down's is very small (1:29,000). My blood pressure is holding great and is even low in the evenings (109/68), so that is helping our stress level.

I try to attend 2-3 Jazzercise classes a week. Some days I'm just too tired or my acid reflux is in high gear!

Getting so excited for April 3rd!
