My how time has Flown! How can half of my pregnancy be over already?
This will be an interesting week. John and I are preparing to head out to New York state (a rather long drive) to visit family, take care of some business, and camp out. Looks like quite a bit of rain and cold is in the forecast.
I have my week by week book, yippee! Backing up to week 18 through week 20:
--Week 18 Fine tuning of the Heart and Circulatory System
--Week 19 More development in our baby's Nervous System
--Week 20 Vernix us being secreted onto our baby's skin to protect him or her from the amniotic fluid
So, overall I'm doing well. Mostly over a nasty cold.
Sunday, I was laying on my back, looking at my stomach and I saw and felt our baby, so incredible!!
John and I went to visit the midwife today and everything is looking fine. I've been measuring small so we were all a bit concerned. Thankfully, my uterus is up to my belly button which is exactly where it should be for week 20, even though I don't look 20 weeks pregnant. It is always so reassuring to hear that heartbeat! It was in the 140's so we shall see... We are thinking to have an ultrasound when we get back from our trip!
Hey it's me again - I didn't look 20 weeks pregnant either... but 9 weeks later... people are asking me if I'm ready to deliver soon. LOL you're going to see some big changes soon! :-)
