20 Week Update:

It seems as though (knock on wood) that the nausea is finally settling. If I get up much earlier than I am used to, then it's still a bit uneasy initially, but eases up after I eat some rye bread, and drink some hot tea. My lower back has been a bit sore, mostly at night as I'm getting ready to go to bed, but luckily we bought a cheap heating pad that seems to help. I've got a little bit of the waddle going, because I'm getting to be huge. I'm finally able to really eat again, which is nice. I still am not drinking as much as I should, but now that I've discovered Crystal Light's Raspberry Lemonade, it's helped me significantly. I've been trying to take walks once a night when I'm feeling up to it with my mom and dad around the neighborhood. I'm definitely feeling overheated much easier. I feel like I'm hot all the time, which is exhausting. And my feet have been killing me anytime I stand barefoot for more than 10 minutes on the tile, or other hard surface. And in great news, I finally got to feel her! I've felt her twice now and it's really neat. I can't wait until it gets to be more frequent and strengthen so that David can feel it too. :) We go back on Thursday for our 20 week checkup and our next class which is supposed to cover feeding. I can't wait for my little Sophia to get here. I'm so excited! It really is amazing.

It's Official!

So David and I, as well as my mom and Naner came with us for our 19 week ultrasound yesterday, in hopes of finding out what our baby is going to be. It was really neat, because the baby is so much bigger now, and was super active! Moving around like crazy, and kept putting it's head in my belly button to hide when the tech tried to take measurements. Apparently they'd had it in their computer that my due date was Feb. 4, despite having been initially told that it was Jan. 31, but she said that according to the measurements and growth, that I am in fact due Jan. 30. So very close! :) 

Yesterday was rough because they I had to get up so much earlier and they wanted me to drink 32 oz. of water (which not pregnant would have made me sick) an hour before going in, but combine me trying to drink that much, with getting up super early, and having run out of my pills a few days before, it did not make for fun times, and I ended up getting sick halfway into the ultrasound, and once again after at David's parents' house. 

But in good news, our baby was not shy and we were able to get a visual!!! So the wait is over...we are officially going to have a baby GIRL!! And her name is Sophia Harmony Pocock!

Afterwards we went out for celebratory lunch at Olive Garden. All in all, a pretty good, exciting day!

Woo Hoo!

Tomorrow's the big day!!

Changes..

So as soon as I say there's been no real changes, the past two days have been a little off. I've felt very drained and exhausted again, which I hadn't been feeling really since the first trimester. And my stomach has been feeling strange. Not like I need to throw up kind of feeling, but just uncomfortable feeling. And I've been having random sharp pains in my right breast, and light cramps in my sides. Nothing too serious, just different and uncomfortable. 

In other news, just one more week left!
