hello in there
i've started to feel and see the baby kick. it's the most amazing, funny and sweet thing. it's finally starting to seem real. it's like, she's there, she's really in there! i feel her most when i lie down in bed at night. i guess, like me, she's trying to get comfortable and find the right position to go to sleep, which she always quickly does because before long she's calm again.
i'll be 20 weeks tomorrow. right in the middle. it's been a bit of a journey to get here. the first and beginning of the second trimester were hard. on top of the fatigue and nausea, we also had a bit of a scare. we had an amnio which turned out all clear, thankfully. who knew having babies was so complicated these days? i guess we're all having babies older so that means more tests and, more often than not, needless worry. all these terms and ratios and statistics that i'd never heard of or thought much about before: nuchal fold, NT screening, 1:185, 2.8 mm, screen positive, genetic counseling, etc. etc.
anyway, i go in for my 20 week anatomy scan this coming monday and i'm really looking forward to seeing her again. it's funny to get these periodic peeks into her life, in utero.
