YIKES!

I've been growin'!

Gert's getting more active these days, and I've discovered that my craving for raspberry soda tends to get Gert rather excitable. So I've gotta be careful just how often I get stuck into it.

Say bye bye to the body I once knew! I'm a vessel now!

Half way!

There's no denying it now, That belly just keeps on growing! I reckon I didn't just 'pop' over the weekend, I 'exploded'!

Gert is getting a little more active, or rather, I'm feelin' Gert a whole lot more, though thankfully I haven't been kicked in the bladder or punched in the ribs (yet).

It's hard to imagine that 20 weeks have already been, and now I'm looking at the 2nd half. Where does the time go? Christmas will be here soon!

Gert or Bert?

I had the 19 week ultrasound of baby 'Gert' today. At this stage it is possible to find out the gender of the little munchkin, but we chose to wait and see when Gert finally reveals him or herself.

The suspense is already starting to get to me... maybe we should've found out... We did get video of this ultrasound, and I could've sworn I saw boy bits, but then when I watched the video again, I wasn't so sure, it could be a girl. I guess to my untrained eye I could be looking at anything.

Aside from all of that, 'Gert' is doing well. Growing as s/he should, and giving me high fives and doing backward summersaults. All in all, Gert is healthy and happy and that's all I care really!

18 weeks...

WOWSERS! 18 weeks already.... where does the time go?

I wasn't going to worry about snapping the belly this week... but it seemed to have 'popped', and in comparison to last week it looks a little more prominant.... lord knows my pants have been telling me! (not to mention the growing 'assets'... freakin' cleavage is exploding!)
