A bigger me

Not too many people look forward to a growing midsection, especially with all those New Year's resolutions. But for natural reasons, I am one of the few that doesn't mind, at least not too much, that my tummy is slowly pointing the way ahead more and more clearly. It's hard to believe I am nearly half-way through this pregnancy already at 19 wks. (about 5 mos)! So far things have been smooth and easy, aside for about a month early on when food wasn't settling quite right (still no puking though, hooray!). My tummy is growing at a faster rate than the first time around, which I hear is normal. Next Saturday we have an ultrasound to make sure all the right parts seem to be in place, especially the ones that will tell us whether or not to expect a little boy or another little girl. Until then, the daily pokes and prods from the little guy or girl are a fun reminder of the life growing within.
