20 Weeks

The 'official' halfway point :-)

Some of the changes in my body over the last short while include the obvious stomach size.... I'm definitely getting bigger. I have a feeling I've gained quite a few pounds in the last fortnight, so I'll probably get in trouble on Thursday at my next appointment!

I need to get some more maternity clothes, I don't have enough. It's a funny time of year though because it's still cold outside, but I know it won't be for too much longer. I don't want to waste money on 'warm' things which will be unecessary in a few weeks.

I also bought 2 new bra's a couple of weeks ago in a bigger size. They are already too small. Not good!

I've avoided [new] stretchmarks so far. I wonder if I'll get any this time. I'm not sure if it's inevitable, but given that when I was pregnant with Dylan my body was stretched beyond conceivable proportions, I am hoping it won't get so bad this time with my diet being controlled and therefore I may possibly avoid them.

The baby continues to get more & more active which I just love feeling. It's very reassuring to know he's in there stretching and kicking.

I can't wait to get into all the stuff in the basement storage room and have a big sort out to figure out exactly what we have and what we need to buy. D has bazillions of really smart clothes which he's grown out of so I want to go through and sort them into size, give them a wash, and prepare them for this little chap!

D is off school this week for March break, and off next week from the Montessori as they have a 2 week vacation instead of 1. It's 10.23am on Monday morning and I'm already wishing he was back at school, he's in the most horrendous whiney mood this morning! Need to figure out some activities to do this week with him to keep him occupied.
