YAY! I felt the baby kick today!! The past two days I've had more of those "hmmm, is that it" kinda moments...the little fluttery kinda feelings, but today was definitely something! We'll actually get to see this little one move around again very soon. My 20 week anatomic ultrasound is this wednesday morning. Half of the clan will be there for the viewing... Scott, my parents and my brother. My in-laws live out of town so we will get the DVD for their viewing pleasure when we next see them on Christmas eve.
My belly has definitely popped out some. Since I was on the heavy side to start with I look more pregnant than I am, but I love it! For the first time in my life I love my belly!! I love looking pregnant. I had a few patients tell me this week that I am one of those stereotypically glowing pregnant women. "They say some women glow, but OMG, YOU really glow!" That made me feel good! I'm so thankful that I've really felt good through this pregnany. I had some tiredness for more than the first trimester so I just took a nap now and then. I only had two mornings where I was green and both times were after days that I'd done way too much. I quickly learned that connection and took more naps on long days. I had queasiness during most of the first trimester, but it was only if I didn't eat as soon as my body said to eat. I learned that connection quickly too and made sure to keep healthy snacks with me at all times. There were no weird cravings, BUT I did have a weird food aversion. It was to something that I loved before getting pregnant... humus! I tried to eat it shortly after finding out I was pregnant and totally gagged! I even gagged one day when I saw a humus commercial on TV!!...so weird!!
I've been fighting what I thought was a cold for over two weeks now (part b/c I refuse to take any medication whether "they" say it's safe for the baby or not...how do you really know?). Alot of congestion and postnasal drip, both worse at night. Weeeellll, I just read something that talked about excess mucus during pregnancy!! OH NO! Like I didn't have enough normally just from allergy stuff, now there's more during pregnancy. AND they said it would probably get worse before it gets better and not go away until after delivery... OH boy!...I'm going to be sleeping on the couch alot if that happens! Scott has just LOVED (sarcasm, sarcasm) my getting up several times at night to gag and blow my nose! Actually, it was my idea to sleep on the couch a couple nights, b/c I used the recliner part to sleep at a 45 degree incline, which helped my breathing. It wasn't very comfortable and I missed sleeping with Scott. SO, I really do hope this is just a cold that I'm getting over. We'll see....
