This week marks the half way point - I'm at 20 weeks and finally really starting to look pregnant. I have bought the elastic band pants, to my dismay, and much to my surprise I actually LOVE them. So much better than the rubber band around the tight pants I was wearing before. And I always have the stretchy yoga pants to fall back on when I run out of the good stuff.
My appointment last week with Dr. Day went well. Will got to go and meet him too. We heard the baby's heart beat - it was in the 150s. And that was pretty much it. All the blood work is coming back normal, and there doesn't seem to be much to worry about, which is good, because I can find plenty to worry about on my own.
I'm teaching more yoga again! It has been fun to see the people at yogahOMe again. And really, just good to be back in the yoga room. As far as me doing yoga - it is starting to become an obstacle course of trial and error. The belly is in the way for somethings, fine for others. I usually don't know until I'm already in the pose. And I am still standing on my head and going upside down. It is a quick remedy for headaches and the SI joint pain I've developed over the last week.
I am officially addicted to the large 4-pack of chewy Sweet Tarts. But other than that, nothing weird like pickles with peanut butter. For the most part, I believe the baby is going to be vegetarian. This could be bad for Will since it would be 2-1 in favor of NO MEAT! The smell, look, taste of meat of any kind turns my stomach.
We also made of first trip to Babys 'R Us this week. Um - overwhelming. I'll be going back with a girlfriend soon to help wade through all the choices and start registering for things. Now that I'm feeling good, the fun part of being pregnant is starting!

half way there is wonderful. It doesn't seem real at times but how proud we are. A boy...WOW.
It really doesn't matter a bit in reality but a boy is good. Healthy is the thing both for YOU and the baby. So take care of yourself...yogi properly-- and the baby. Mom will see you before long and a short time after that I'll get to see the three of youi.
Can't hardly wait for the 2nd half.
love you Charlie...
