The halfway point

Jump to Comments

Believe it or not, I’m actually at the halfway point through this pregnancy – twenty weeks along!  I say believe it or not, because it feels like the four and a half months have just flown by, and I imagine the next four and a half will go just as quickly.  I don’t feel sick at all anymore, and sometimes it’s hard to remember I’m pregnant.  Then I get reminded by a flutter feeling in my stomach (which are getting stronger and feeling less like flutters and more like jabs).  Yes, I’m feeling movement!  It’s so exciting and reassuring when I feel those strnage sensations.  I can’t wait until the kicks are strong enough for daddy to feel.  Not yet, but I think it’s coming soon. 

Despite feeling movement and being as far along as I am, I don’t show too much and I’m still able to wear some of my regular pants.  Somehow, I expected to look bigger at this point and I’m actually looking forward to when people can just tell by looking at me that I’m pregnant.  Most people I know in this small town know already, but I’ll feel different when I’m really showing. 

No news yet on gender.  Hopefully, there will be a reason for an ultrasound next time I go to the doctor so we can get a peek.  My guess is that it’s a girl, but I have nothing but intuition to base that on, so who knows?  My next appointment is about 10 days away, so hopefully we’ll know something soon after that!
