Bump Watch

This is week 21, so we have officially started the 2nd half of the pregnancy. The first half went so fast and its hard to believe we are already half way there. I'm sure this half will go just as fast. The fact that I am pregnant while I am finishing my dissertation is making the time go even faster. At this point, the baby is fully formed, so now she just has to get bigger and put on the pounds. I have been feeling her move and it still feels kind of like gas and kind of like a fluttering. By week 24, we should be able to feel the baby by touching my belly. Joe is excited for that.

I have been sleeping ok. Some nights I am tossing and turning and getting up multiple times to pee and then there are nights where I actually sleep well. I have also noticed that I get tired much quicker when I am walking around and walking up the hills is getting harder. Otherwise, I am still feeling pretty good.

I am really showing now, which is cool. Looking back over the other "bump watch" pictures, you can really see how I've grown. It's exciting.
