Symptom wise, there's nothing extreme going on. Thankfully, I seem to be past the acne stage, so I no longer look/feel like a pubescent teenager. I'm still adjusting to not being able to sleep on my tummy. I had started out with pool noodles under the fitted sheet, to make myself a valley so I couldn't roll over, but that was the most uncomfy thing ever! I finally dug out an old pillow which seems to be working a little better, although it's a little too fluffy, and puts my hip at a funny angle. Not helping my SI joint pain either. But it keeps me off my tummy, so I stick with it. I'm finally starting to sleep better, now that I've discovered that I have too much noise in my bedroom (although it's no louder than usual). I dug out a pair of earplugs and they seem to do the trick. I still get up 3-5 times per night to pee, but I doubt that will get any better anytime soon. I'm having some random pain/discomfort in my lower abdomen, which doc says is due to my uterine ligaments being tight. Thankfully there have only been three times when I have been unable to move, and all three times have been on weekends or in the evenings, so I haven't had to miss work. Little Lamb is becoming more active, so I almost always have my hand on my tummy, waiting to feel a kick or punch. Brian has even felt him move a few times. We still have yet to hear the heartbeat thru my stethoscope, but we keep trying. We'll hear him on our own one of these days!
Everyone keeps asking if we have decided on a name yet, and the answer is still no. I have been thru the entire baby name book, and have flagged a handful of names, but unfortunately, they aren't any that Brian likes, so we have to keep looking, I guess. I think Brian has been on every baby name website, and there have been a couple names that show up on every list. Maybe it's a sign... I'm told that we may end up having to wait and see what Lamb looks like before we can decide, but I really would like him to have an identity by then. The baby books say that Lamb will start hearing sounds within the next couple of weeks, and I'm looking forward to talking to him, and getting him interested in music and reading.
I guess that about wraps it up for this month. It's hard to believe that we're nearly halfway thru the pregnancy. The next couple of months will fly by (I hope) with the move and a trip home for the baby shower and family reunion. He'll be here before we know it! :)
