update on the bump-20 wks

<--- baby "Jezebel" waving hi

Well,

it's been a while since I've posted anything here. Figure I'm at the halfway point in the pregnancy, so I should record something. :) So let's see, well it would help if I knew the last thing I wrote about. Hmm let me go look real quick. Okay I posted at 1o weeks. hahaha insane. Maybe when I get close to the end I'll post more...right now it's not the most interesting.

Okay, so let's see. I don't have a lot of negative things going on. No morning sickness, though I still feel sick if I eat too much. The pimples have gone down to a more manageable level (never gone though, I'm not that lucky), I get cramps after eating sometimes. And my back hurts really bad when I try to flip from one side to the other at night. I have a feeling that's an old pinched nerve injury that's come back to haunt me now.

Every now and then my hands or feet swell a bit, guess it's a tiny preview of what's to come. And my belly is finally starting to get round. Not that I hadn't gained weight...it was just a bit lumpy. Now that the little girl (we'll call her Jezebel going forward) is getting bigger, I'm finally looking pregnant. yey!

Hmm, anything else? Food aversions are pretty much gone (yey I can eat salad and meat again), though I eat at least as much as Derek, probably more. And of course we know we're having a girl (aka Jezebel. Okay we're not really naming her Jezebel, though that's not a horrible name.) Next appointment is at 23 weeks I think. Her heartbeat was strong, and my bloodwork was good.

So, that's about it for now. We're in Canada, so time to update my journal with what we've done so far. Might post about that at the end of the vacation. It's going to go by too fast! But at least when we get home we can get my dog. I miss her, and feel so bad that we couldn't bring her. Adios for now!
