ahhh! halfway! i can't believe it's already here. part of me would be fine staying pregnant for a while longer... though i'm sure i will not feel that way once i'm another 15 pounds heavier and 20 inches rounder, lol.
oh and WE FIND OUT THE SEX TODAY! at 4pm. i am so freaking excited i can't put it into words. i promised i would eat sugar and caffeine right beforehand so the baby is wired for the ultrasound and not sleeping with its back turned or something absurd like that. seems like a good trick. (of course it's moving all around now so i'm sure by 4pm it will be sleeping soundly no matter what i do.)
yesterday i got a kick that was so forceful it startled a squeak out of me! totally out of nowhere and much harder than any previous pokes. it was cute. and i've noticed a really uncomfortable sensation when i try to ride my bike, like the baby is getting squished against my pelvis >< so i think i might not ride it anymore unless i absolutely have to.
oh, and on friday i found myself in the ER again, thankfully for a false alarm that turned out to be a pulled muscle. i have hypercoagulable blood (which is a big deal during pregnancy) and was showing all the signs of a potential clot in my leg, so i consulted with my dad--who's had four serious clots--and was advised to go to the hospital right away. i did, and it was nothing but a wasted 6 hours. annoying, but worth it.
boy? girl? today it will have additional identifying characteristics for me to associate with it! not just "small" and "human!" *squeal*
