Belly!

Wow, what a difference a few days can make. A week ago you wouldn't know I was almost halfway through my pregnancy. A couple days after that I felt kicks and flutters, and a couple of days after that I'm getting a belly! Finally! After losing weight in the beginning, I'm finally starting to pooch out. But its literally like you wake up one day and say "whoa, my belly feels bigger". I kinda noticed yesterday, but was too distracted by a migrane to pay much attention. Today I really noticed.

And today marks the halfway point of the pregnancy...wow...already. Week 20. Hard to imagine, its going so fast The baby should be between 5-6 inches now, and weigh about 9 ounces. And it starts to hear this week. Mommy better start watching her mouth! haha!

As for me, I feel good still. My gums are sore today, which I read is very normal because of increased blood flow. But I have to be careful because pregnant women are more susceptible to getting gingivitis, so I am thinking about scheduling a cleaning soon...which I'm desperately overdue for anyway. I just hate the dentist. I've also noticed some extra vericose veins on my legs, YUCK! Its just a couple, but still...those don't go away. I've been spending too much time on my feet and working, so I am going to be sure and get plenty of rest on my days off instead of running myself to death like I usually do.
