20 Weeks!

I'm now 20 weeks and celebratory mood! Hurrah! Properly pregnant now! I would say half way, but who knows when Pea will pop out. I'm not at all sure he'll be here before 42 weeks, if that :-) Plus, I wasn't at all pregnant for the first two weeks of those 20. Basically, I don't want to get too excited about being half way, because there is a long old way to go yet! So glad I don't have to do a first trimester with this baby again though. That part was really not so fun.

Pea is now a real wiggle-worm. Last night was the first time we both were able to feel him kick from the outside. That was really amazing, there's actually a baby in there :-) With sharp little feet! He was doing more kick practice this afternoon too. I think he's gearing up for our big scan tomorrow.

I can't believe the big scan is tomorrow! I'm trying not to get too tooo excited in case Pea is of a modest persuasion and does not wish to spread his legs. I'm not too worked up about 'seeing' him again - it will be super-lovely, but as we might well decline all scans with our other babies, I don't think scans should be the high point of pregnancy really.

It is amazing though that tomorrow we might well know if our family is going to start with a son or daughter! Yeeps!

Ooh, I almost forgot! I weighed myself and I've put on exactly a stone so far this pregnancy - I've gone from 9st dead to 10st dead. How very neat of me!
