I woke up yesterday morning with my hand resting lightly on my stomach, as usual. What wasn't usual is the three solid bumps from our son - a tiny reminder that he's also waking up for the day! Later in the morning my sister Debra also felt him squirming around, and then my son Jerry confirmed a 'weird wriggle' and my daughter-in-heart J-Lee also felt a little bump when she pressed on my tummy.
It's pretty amazing to feel these movements on the outside, and as early as the middle of the 20th week... that's kind of early, I thought?
We're officially done our 20th week and are on the back half of the pregnancy now. Starting week 21 tomorrow. Time is flying by. Looking forward to David coming home on Thursday night - switched my doctor appointment around to Friday so he can be there with me, and our big 20 week ultrasound on the 21st (Monday). Tons happening this week on the baby front.
Tried on my bathing suits last night in preparation for Mexico. Ugh. Well I look as good in them pregnant as I do otherwise - my big round tummy makes for a cute distraction from my fat thighs! Yay!

19 weeks and counting!!!
 |
| So here's my first official belly shot. It seems like I got 'thicker and thicker' for weeks, then suddenly just popped! |
Everything is going perfect. There's no reason for any kind of concern. Baby boy's heartbeat is loud and clear on the doppler and I am feeling pretty darn good for being 39 years old, working full time with a hubby away for the winter!
I've noticed a bit of discomfort and slight pain at night with my back and tummy muscles. I think it's about time for some well placed pillows to take some of the pressure off the weight of the baby. Not that the baby weighs much. Just under a pound and about 9" long at this point. But with the fluid, the stretching muscles and general displacement of my internal organs, I'm feeling it!
