Week 20
Well I finally was directly approached by a teacher at preschool. "I hear you're pregnant." I tried not to be defensive. So I admitted it. You should have seen the shock on her face when I told her I was half way through. That was pretty priceless. Now I know the rumors will be out there.

My grandma knows I'm pregnant, she was happy, which shocked me. My mom completely ignored me over the issue. We still haven't told DH's mom. We'll get around to it.

My ultrasound went well, except that they didn't see the spine the way they wanted. Why is it always something like that? I just am not that worried. We also opted to not do the other testing after the first trimester screens. Baby was moving and kicking up a storm - how cool! I got a few cool photos and the kids were happy.

I'm almost relaxed about the pregnancy. In fact, I even occasionally forgot which is a good thing. I'm still in regular clothes though they are tight and I'm not changing! My belly just bulges. I still get sick most mornings, but not as much throughout the day. This is a step in the right direction. Though my hips are beginning to ache a lot.
