Halfway there!!!

I am 20 weeks now, which is really hard for me to believe.  I mean I just don't feel pregnant.  Sure, I had the morning sickness, among other symptoms.  But those could all be from something else!  Okay, I haven't had a period since August.  I don't miss it.  But I have cramps just the same, as if I was having one (growing pains).  And yes, I am blowing up like a ballon.  And I look at it in amazement every day because I don't feel pregnant.  I'm starting to feel him kick, which I find myself pushing it off as gas bubbles or something and I have to remind myself that it's my child.  I don't know how to feel pregnant.  It comes as a shock every day.  I have to remind myself.  Ah, well.  Pictures to come later.

By the way

18 weeks.
I am having a boy.  It took me by surprise, I was expecting a girl.  The husband is not convinced, but I am.  It's plain as day!  I actually noticed it at the beginning of the ultrasound and my heart started to race...

Anyway, all seems to be fine, healthy.  I appear to be growing a basketball in my abdomen.  So lately the only clothes I can wear are maternity and some of the husband's shirts.  It's getting pretty cold down here.  Was supposed to be in the teens last night.  Honestly we're not used to this.  Sure, it's colder in Chatty, but we've been down here over a year.  I like how warm it usually is!  I was really enjoying the 80 degree January weather before this cold front!

Almost there

Monday morning I find out what I am carrying.  I'm excited.  I really am not sure what else to say.  I am 17 weeks (woo hoo) so I am almost half way there, but as one of my favorite clients said, you can't even tell I'm pregnant in my scrubs.  Especially not 4 1/2 months pregnant!  Half way to having the kid.  Once Monday is over, it's time to start registering and figuring out what to do from there.  I need to take classes!  Oh well...

Sorry

For not posting in a while (though I haven't had any complaints ;).  I'm on week 16 and one week from tomorrow I will know the sex of my Peanut.  The husband has been especially loving this week.  I'm showing more, and cannot fit into anything smaller than a small anymore.  And jeans (other than my maternity ones) are a no.  Other than that it is life as usual.  Working.  Sleeping (a lot).  Eating (though I suppose more than I used to).  As far as weight goes, I don't know if I have gained or not!  I do remember being (on the work scale) about 118 or 119.  Now it says 124.  So it's not much.  The scale we have at home doesn't vary much.  119 or 120.  We weigh every week with the pictures and it doesn't change at all.  I'm not expecting a dramatic change, but we've been weighing since before Thanksgiving.  Or is it even further back?  Well, I am looking forward (sort of) to the coming weeks/months.  I will get bigger and I imagine I will have trouble with things but I fear not (yet).  March brings seeing Jeff Dunham in Chattanooga.  April brings Bugapaluza (I will be 7 months?!) and I can't even begin to imagine how big I will be there.  Won't be able to do much other than sell tee shirts (if that!).  Not even a hint of 50-50 tickets this year!!!  I was glad to give it to someone else last year.  Not much else to say really.  I'm going to get some of my coveted sleep now!!!  ^_^
