Well, I'm officially past the 1/2 way point and moving full speed ahead towards 'motherhood'. It's kinda scary to think that in 17 weeks, we'll be holding our little one...17 weeks! EEEK! So much to do and not a lot of time to do it in. When I was talking to Lisa the other day I had to make the comparison of "It's like when you're planning your wedding and you get down to counting weeks, not months, and then...you start to panic." :)
Things are going really smooth. I feel so lucky to have an "easy" pregnancy. Not too much pain/swelling/sickness etc. Just a few little things here and there. I've learned that it's important to wear my orthotics with the small weight gain, really helps the feet/hips when being out and about. I've also learned that a body pillow is a pregnant woman's best friend for sleeping! Yes, it may take up half the bed and make the hubby uncomfortable, but it's so worth it for the relief/ease of sleep for the pregnant one :).
Baby's doing very well. At our last visit she was perfect size and weight, moving around a lot and all her measurements of organs and such looked normal too. She's moving around... A LOT. It's not constant obviously, but when she does move around she likes to make her presence known. Most often I can actually see my belly move when she's kicking, that is awesome.
I'm looking forward to all the other pregnancy "mile markers" that are yet to come but for right now I'm just enjoying time to sit back with my feet up and feel little one move around. Found out she likes spinach pizza and as much as I love hot/spicy foods...she's not the biggest fan. Yet ;)
We've started to think of names, get the nursery ready and preparing for her arrival. I've started baby registries at Target and Babies R Us to prepare for baby shower...and so I remember what I've picked out. The mind seems to be a bit foggy now adays.
Oh, don't think I uploaded the latest ultrasound pictures but you can see them here...
