Update - 20 weeks

Rather than going thru the survey I'll just do an update tonight; as I have gotten quite a bit behind as of late.

Two weeks ago I had my U/S - Bryan came with; and we really enjoyed it. We got to see the babe move around quite a bit; and baby is growing great - everything is fine. They did say that the placenta is laying low; so I will get to have another U/S around 32 weeks to make sure that it has moved up and is out of the way.

The week that followed was extremely crazy. I was able to stay home on Wednesday b/c I was not feeling good; then on Thursday I worked until nearly midnight - worked late on Friday, I also had to go up to the office on Saturday; and worked at home some on Sunday. I started spotting some at work on Saturday and it freaked me out; the Dr on call said not to worry too much, just keep my feet up and relax for the weekend. I decided to go to the Dr on Monday and see what she thought; I also wanted to talk about the stress that work has induced. She was able to reduce my work hours; but not put me on bedrest which actually works better; b/c if I was on bedrest for a week or so, and then had to return to work at the same schedule as before it would be a cycle that would continue to repeat itself. So, I am on 1/2 days for two weeks, and then I'll return to a more full schedule, but no overtime.

After working 1/2 days for a week I feel 10000% better!!!

As for the baby - I'm starting to feel the baby kick; and everytime it does I just smile, this is soo enjoyable knowing that a life is growing inside me.

I'm pretty much solely wearing maternity clothes, I can wear some clothes that are normal, but after sitting at a desk for awhile it puts too much pressure on my belly. My weight has basically stayed the same, I haven't gained any weight; am still down about 8 pounds from the start of my pregnancy.

I am thrilled that I've made it thru the first half of my pregnancy; I am excited to see what the next 20 weeks holds.
