I have officially reached the half way mark. I had my twenty week appointment on Wednesday, which means I am five months pregnant. I never thought I would make it this far!! I had a rough three and half -four months. What's with calling morning sickness "morning" sickness?? Guess I haven't figured that one out when you're throwing up all day long and feel like absolute death. Everyone keeps telling me this little one will be worth it, but honestly there were days' when I would think to myself, "what in God's name was I thinking!" Now, I know it has all been worth it and baby isn't even born yet. I started to feel baby move for the first time on September 26. At first I didn't even know it was movement, it actually felt like a muscle spasm, but after several I figured it out. Jeff got to feel baby move for the first time October 12! I guess the joys of being a mom--all the pain you go through is definately worth experiencing all the "firsts!" Everything looks good as far as development of the baby. Baby's heart rate was 154, again! Although we don't know what we are having I have my own personal suspision...however, time can only tell!
