I'm wearing my first pair of maternity jeans today :) SO much more comfortable than my normal ones that I've been squeezing myself into.
Last night we spent the evening with our pastor and his wife who've just adopted their fifth child from India. Little Lyla was particularly fond of Nick - reaching for him to hold her all throughout the night. Then, as soon as he would put her down, her little sister Katie-Pierce would also ask to be held. Her jealousy demanded equal treatment :). Nick was quite the chick magnet.
Tomorrow the baby will be 19 weeks old - exactly half way through its development. I've noticed a few little changes this week, and they're making me a bit paranoid. Are they the product of a growing baby or the product of some change with the baby that isn't a positive one? I'm itching for my doctors appointment next week to know that everything is ok!
The appointment is Wednesday. We will have the ultrasound (approx an hour long) to measure and learn the sex of the baby and then meet w/ the doc. We're not going to actually learn the gender on Wednesday, however. Our plan is to keep the information sealed in an envelope, to be opened and revealed when we're with our family for Thanksgiving. Fun, fun, fun.
Nick and I are taking a little getaway the weekend before Thanksgiving to an Amish community. Then I'm off work the whole week of Thanksgiving. During that time I'll have my 31st birthday, we'll learn the gender of our baby, and we'll celebrate the holiday with Nick's family. Don't think I've ever been quite so excited about Thanksgiving-time :)
