20 Weeks, 4 days Update


So, it's been a few weeks since I've updated and you can tell I've grown quite a bit.  I've gained about 10 pounds so far! Yikes! I think I'm within the normal weight gain range, but we'll see what the doctor says this week. We're having 2 ultrasounds this week, one on Tuesday at a public hospital and the other on Thursday at a private clinic which will be in 3D.  We should find out if it's a boy or girl.  So exciting! Moi is still giving me my Lovenox shot every night and it's going well.  I'm really used to it and I hardly bruise at all (you can tell I have a couple really faint ones in the pictures).  I guess all the iron I'm taking helps that, but it certainly doesn't help my regularity;).  The baby should weigh about 11 ounces and should be about 10 inches long from head to heel.  From now on it will grow a lot and start to get some meat on its bones:)  It's moving a lot!  I started feeling very light kicks at about 17 weeks, which they say is pretty early and might mean it's a boy.  At first it was strange and kind of hurt.  Now they're more frequent and harder and I'm used to it.  Moi hasn't felt it from the outside yet.  Every time he puts his hand there it stops kicking, but I think it's a little too early any way.  This week Moi is studying a lot and doing some big assignments and I'm doing report cards (220 some!).  So, we'll be pretty busy this week while getting ready to head to the States for Christmas on Saturday!  Can't wait!
