something new...

I don't feel like I have much to say, however I am not 18 weeks!!! Scary! Its almost half way over and I feel like it was just the other day I found out! I barely feel like I have a pregnant tummy, but I know its there, I feel it when ever I turn from my side to my back when I am sleeping. A huge weight gets dropped on my bladder and makes sleeping even more uncomfortable until I finally drag myself out of bed to use the bathroom! Its no fun. And sometimes I can't go back to sleep.
Last night I did have a dream that I was in labor.  At first I thought it was just braxton hicks contractions but then the doctor confirmed that I was having this baby that night and I was only where I am now, 18 weeks and barely looking pregnant! He assured me the baby would be just fine and that coming early was not a big deal.  Well I never made it to the end of that dream, so I don't know what happened or what the sex was of that baby!!! Anytime I dream about my baby, I can't figure out what the sex is!!! Its frustrating! BUT all is well, I find out on tuesday!!! I have been calling it 'she' and occasionally our girl name, Trudy, and I have been told that mothers know what they are having.... we'll see if I am right!
The bump that I do have is big enough to be causing me plenty of wardrobe issues.  I have bought a couple of maternity jeans and tops, but the tops all look like tunics on me because they are so long, and once I have a big enough belly to fill it out, they will look good on me!! Can't wait for that day! I did get a belly band, you wear it over your jeans so you can unbutton them and well for me I have to half unzip them too, which then if I don't have a long enough shirt... well it looks like my fly is down all day and I am just some fat girl who can't fit in her pants!!!! And most of my 'normal' clothes do not cover my zipper... thank you washing machines and dryers that alway make my clothes shrink up!
So that is where I am with pregnancy right now.  I am no longer super tired, I have plenty of energy through out the day, just don't wake me before 9am!  I need my sleep.  The baby controls my hunger, I am almost always hungry and my stomach will growl only after a couple of hours of just eating! Its annoying! But I guess over everything, I LOVE IT!!!
