Taking a break from designing stuff for T.
Pregnancy is progressing well--this morning, I felt a lot of movement. It feels weird, like the feeling you get in your stomach from a sudden drop. It's like that feeling, repeated and fluttering around inside. At first I didn't even know if it was the baby. I thought it was me worrying about something, but it felt too physically strong for me to believe it to be an emotional response.
I'm about 21 weeks along. I don't really know *exactly* how far along I am, since my last ultrasound showed the baby was about 3-4 weeks younger than I thought it was. Ultrasound tech thinks it's a boy--("I think I saw a willy!") but the baby kept crossing its legs and shying away from the equipment. Years ago, I joked with Justin that our kids were most certainly going to have a rebellious streak. Well, there it is before it's even 100% formed.
I've been working out at the gym 3-4 times a week. I keep telling everyone that it's to strengthen my back & to keep my energy up, which is true, but I also have a selfish and vain reason for it too. Like, I don't want to become a manatee by the time this is over. (I love manatees, I just don't want to be one.) Also, I don't want my boobs to get any bigger. There are already obscenely huge and if they get any bigger they will have no perkiness left to them.
Overall, I'm feeling great. No nausea (except for around strong smells, esp. men's cologne, cheap perfume & body sprays, and pet urine), fatigue isn't nearly as bad as it was in the first trimester, and I have a lot more energy. The ONLY complaint I have is this horrible pain I'm getting in my lower back, on the right side, right above my ass cheek. I've never had lower back pain before becoming pregnant. It's the worst when I get up from either sitting down or lying down. It's annoying and embarrassing when I'm walking and all of a sudden my right leg feels like it's going to give out really quick because of this pain. Thankfully, this pain isn't there 24/7, it just seems to be aggravated by my moving around. This is another thing I'll have to talk to the doc about.
I have a lot more I want to write about here, but alas, I need to get back to work.
