19 weeks

i can't believe i'm 19 weeks! i'm almost halfway there!

i'm really nervous about our ultrasound in two days. its the one where we find out if its a boy or a girl, but i'm not nervous about that. i'm nervous that maybe the baby isn't getting big enough since my belly isn't very big and everyone keeps telling me how small i am; i'm nervous that because our sequential scan showed an increased risk for down's, and suggested there could be a problem with growth restrictions and pre-eclampsia. hopefully everything will be ok, but i'm still worried that something bad could happen and maybe these fears are exaggerated by having to have gone through IVF.

The good news is that i'm actually feeling the baby kick and move around in there! So i know he/she is alive and kicking, which used to be one of my previous fears (and possible current fears).

Morning Sickness: Seems to be finally on its way out in the same way it showed up. Now I'm feeling more like eating, but still have a little trouble now and then, especially still first thing in the morning. Hopefully it will just keep on its slow retreat.
