20 Weeks

Well Lo...ask and you shall receive ;)  

I am 20 weeks right now, half way through!  I have been doing pretty well. No major problems...except that one of my ankles has decided to swell, only my right one (which is weird).  And the other thing of recent is that I have had some major back pain the past 3 days or so (it's kind of my back/side area, and sometimes the front?).  It started last week and it was not too bad, I think Pete pulled on the leash too hard the other night and tweaked my back.  But we were up in Estes Park for John and Laura's wedding and I was sleeping on a different bed, now it hurts pretty bad.  Hopefully a few nights in my own bed will make it feel better, otherwise I will have to make an appointment.

I am pretty sure I am feeling the baby move :)  It is so hard to tell and I don't want to make it up in my head.  It has not been terribly consistent, but I usually feel it when I sit down after being up and running for a bit and when I lay down...it's kind of comforting to feel whatever it is I am feeling :).   That started about a week and a half ago? 

We have an appointment to have an ultrasound done this Friday, the 7th.  Hopefully everything is on track and baby is developing normally (I am SO paranoid), and yes, we should be finding out the sex as well that day!! (as long as baby cooperates)  Both our families are coming up, and hopefully they will allow a rowdy bunch of 1st time aunties and grandparents in the room!  (I have to call still)
