Oh My Gosh!
I am half way through the pregnancy. I am getting so excited. If you didn't already see my post click here for my gender announcement and early gender theories.
We had another scan at the Tunbridge Wells Hospital. The scan took 45 minutes as we have the most wriggly stubborn baby who would not keep still for the sonographer to get the measurements. At one point she had enough (and I don't blame her and they press kind of hard) so she put her hand to push the ultrasound device away. At other points during the scan she would kick, turn, twist, sulk, suck her thumb and pose. My Mum says she is just like me and to get ready for no sleep, tantrums, attitudes and trouble.
Eventually (although I secretly like seeing her) we go the measurements and she looks like she is doing well. I don't want to get my hopes up but she is looking on the smaller side (instead of my 8pound surprise) which if she stays dinky will make labour easily. However Alexander piled on the pounds in those last few weeks.

Mood wise I have been feeling ok. Pregnancy makes me often feel emotional for no reason at all so working on controlling this. The sickness has eased but I am now contending with reflux. I sleep with a pregnancy pillow to try and ease it. Apart from that my tummy is feeling very heavy and I am definitely growing. I carry so low so constantly needing to pee which is disruptive. For the scan you are meant to go on a full bladder. I tried drinking a glass of water before I left and within twenty minutes I was desperate to pee. By the time I arrived I rushed straight for the loo. Fail!!
Here are some pictures of the bump at twenty weeks.
