20 weeks!!

Today is my 20 week mark. Looking back, 20 weeks didn't take very long. The time seemed to fly past. We had our ups and downs, of course. Being sick--definitely a down. Possible miscarriage--downer. Feeling baby kick for the first time--wonderful. Having Jon feel baby kick for the first time--definitely a highlight. It's strange to feel baby move inside me. Sometimes when I shift my weight one way, baby shifts the other way and I rather feel like I'm leaving my stomach behind. And I now understand Lauren's comments about Eric's poking and Morgan's kicking. Being kicked all the time is not all that pleasant. Baby kicked me hard in the bladder yesterday and I actually had to go to the bathroom! It's getting strong!

Looking back at the first 20 weeks was great! Looking forward at the next 20 is a bit uncertain. I know I'll start looking like a whale and experiencing all the other fun problems that come along with whale status (like not being able to bend over to tie my shoes), but I also have a gender discovery to look forward to, as well as the baby itself! Not to mention that I'll soon be able to start shopping for baby stuff. On the whole, I'm content with my pregnancy and looking forward to another 20 weeks with my unknown midget. (I'll check back with you again in ten weeks and we'll see if I'm still happy! lol)
