Halfway there!

20 weeks down, 20 to go!

So in the first half of pregnancy:
- no nausea (yay!)
- lots of saliva (!) and thirst in the 1st trimester
- a little bit tired somedays
- enjoying biking to the train stations, to work, and to my appointments
- a few little blurps and blops around week 15-16, now sometimes more solid blurps
- coolest ultrasound ever where I saw the baby moving its mouth (the tech confirmed that it was 'practicing eating')
- along with awesome 3D picture of its little hand (in previous post)
- good hang out times with Jenny, Kira, Lisa, Edith, Sean and Marin
- who knew maternity pants were so comfy?
- Bug is now about 9oz; am a little weirded out that it will gain another 6 or more pounds in the next 20 weeks! But all looks good on the ultrasound and other tests, so we are hoping for a nice healthy baby.
- lots of great support at work - although right before I told my boss, he declared at a staff meeting that no one on the team was going to get to go to any more weddings, or have friends, or get married themselves, and certainly no babies. Sorry boss!
- tons of love and support from Josh - including pushing me to eat my veggies and picking up the dog poo.

And just to say again, that it is WILD that there is a tiny being inside of me. Who are you, little person?

In the next 20 weeks - more prenatal yoga! A trip to Geneva! Babymoon travel to NYC and an undetermined warm location! Even, more, nesting!

(so far nesting has included a lot of measuring of rooms and furniture with a tape measure and inputting everything into Adobe Illustrator, to see if we can cram nursery stuff into Josh's office, and Josh's office into the guest room. It's also manifested as a strong desire not to go to movie theaters in Philadelphia that have consistently been reviewed as sticky, dirty, and full of people talking on their cellphones through the whole movie).
