Past the Halfway Point

I meant to post this last week which was my halfway point, but frankly I was just too lazy. Somehow 21 weeks doesn't sound as exciting. I guess this pregnancy is legally able to drink now, hooray! If only I could have a glass of wine. It feels good to be on this side. I can finally help with dinner, eat with the family, and put Elliot to bed. I can even clean the house again, which is nice because Elliot was finding dog hair and brining it to me saying "Here you go mommy, this is yuck." It's not all wonderful - my feet are already swelling and my pelvic pain is already present, but it's so much better than constant nausea. We had our anatomy ultrasound a couple of weeks ago and everything looks great. The baby has a face and all of its appendages, so that's a good start. Gender is still a mystery. I wanted to know, but the baby wouldn't cooperate. Dr. X did the ultrasound, and yes, he's still a jerk. He repeatedly jiggled my belly, commanding the baby to cooperate until I finally just blurted out "forget it" because the alternative would have been to punch him in the face. Even Bobby, who is usually incredibly laid back, thought it was a bit much. Looking forward to summer - planting flowers, taking long walks, and beaching myself at the pool. Woohoo!
