this morning was the the first time i felt the baby move from the outside, i hope she stays active this evening so i can see if traven can feel it too!

another appointment down

i had another ob appointment on wednesday. nothing exciting, just my routine monthly check up. everything is still progressing as it should and we're both healthy. i did find out that i have to do my glucose test next month - yuck.

half way there...

fyi - i am 20 weeks today which is half way point. here's a taste of what it's like:

i am getting kicked lightly, but frequently
i can't pee without farting
i can still see my feet but i can no longer see my monkey
i have completely given up trying to wear non-maternity pants
it is extremely difficult to get up from lying down or from sitting in the floor
i am eating every 2 - 4 hours and sleeping 9 - 10 hours a night plus naps on the weekend
i must have a snack and tums with me at all times

i'm sure there are many more exciting things but i can't remember what they are because i also have short term memory loss (worse than usual) and am in an almost constant state of confusion (again worse than usual).

more ultrasound pictures

the first one is another profile shot where she's sucking her thumb and the other one is the bottom of her foot.

ultrasound pictures

these are profile pictures of the face. you can kind of see a little nose and mouth, the mouth is open on the second picture.

are you ready...

the big ultrasound was today and as you probably know i did not want to find out the sex. traven on the other hand did so i let him find out when i was out of the room - i as it turns out couldn't stay him knowing so now we all know - it's a girl!

the rest of the appointment was good, everything thing is cookin' like it should be. baby weighs approximately 10oz at 19 weeks.
