So I started week 20 on Wednesday. I am getting bigger now it seems. Family and friends seem to be able to tell that I am showing. Strangers don't pay a lot of attention to it. I think so suspect but don't want to insult me, so I haven't had a problem with women touching my stomach yet. The baby kicks all the time now. It is really active and really strong. On monday I have my ultrasound to see if they can determine the sex of the baby. I really hope they can tell. Morning sickness isn't much of an issue anymore. I did get sick when trying to start my prenatal vitamins again. I am not sure how I am gonna handle that yet since I really shouldn't skip them. The baby seems to have permanently rooted itself on my bladder now. I really love this baby. With every kick my feelings get stronger. I thought that I could never feel love like this for anyone but Michael. These feelings are so overwhelming now. I don't think I love the baby more, but definetly equal to what I feel for him. At least it is getting that way anyway.
I am at the half way point now in my pregnancy. The baby is more active. The scalp hair is starting to grow now. If it is a girl the uterus is developing.
My uterus is at my naval now. My belly button is becoming an outie. I noticed a couple weeks ago it was getting closer. It is almost flush with my stomach now. I guess I am gonna start growing my steadily now. I am ready I think. I have come to terms with it and feel like gaining weight isn't a bad thing because it is for a good reason.
