20 weeks!

My 20 week belly (please excuse the messy bathroom)

I made it to 20 weeks.  Halfway done.  These 20 weeks have flown by, and I'm kinda hoping the next 20 weeks go a little slower.  So far I've gained about 7 or 8 lbs but I feel like a whale most days and think I look about ready to deliver.  The morning sickness is gone, the fatigue ISN'T.  I'm still crazy tired all the time, and fall asleep at the drop of a hat.  But other than that I feel pretty good.  I've been able to feel the baby kick for a few weeks now, and they are slowly getting to be stronger and stronger. I'm feeling slightly less terrified about labor, and I know by the time it comes I'll be ready because I've got plenty of preparation time.  I finally got my hypnobirthing book from the library and it came with this cd to help you relax.  I've turned it on to listen to several times now, and every time I fell asleep.  EVERY SINGLE TIME.  Hopefully its contents are sinking in subconsciously, because I don't think I've heard past the first ten minutes before dozing off....at least I know its relaxing, eh!   

Anyway, so far so good.  We're just crossing our fingers that the IUD behaves itself and stays put for the next 20 weeks (and doesn't destroy my hopes of a pitocin-free delivery).
