Welcome to your 19th week of pregnancy

Almost halfway done!

I got an e-mail today from some baby web page welcoming me to my 19th week of pregnancy. In this e-mail I was informed that my exhaustion may be returning due to an upcoming baby growth-spurt. Returning? Doesn't it have to leave in order to return? Apparently not.

So far my pregnancy has been pretty uneventful. It has been more difficult than I remember my first being though. On top of being incredibly sick into the 2nd trimester (had that the first time) I've also been exhausted beyond belief, which was not helped in the least by my anti-nausea meds which brought the exhaustion to the incapacitating level! The meds also caused some pretty bad depression. Just what I needed! Thankfully, I was able to get on a different anti-nausea med and it's working quite well, without any unpleasant side-effects.

My belly is rounding out and most of my clothes don't fit - regular or maternity. My breasts are the size of melons and are the primary reason most of my shirts don't fit.

I have an appointment on Monday and we're hoping for an ultrasound so we can maybe find out what flavor baby we're having. If not Monday, I'll have to wait until my 'big ultrasound' on June 5th. I don't really want to wait that long though. I may have to come up with some vague symptoms and go in during walk-in hours. (If I set foot on the high-risk floor during walk-in hours, I am pretty much guaranteed an ultrasound!)

I guess that's all I've got for now.
