No Dice

Pregnancy update!

At 18 weeks I am finally, finally, finally feeling better. Yeah! I can eat some foods sometimes and have gotten off the couch everyday for the last week. I still feel very nauseous at night and I think it might be some time before I am totally back to normal, but I am so grateful for any time spent feeling good.

Today I had my mid-pregnancy ultrasound. Unfortunately Matt had to work, but my mom and the kids came to take a peek at the baby. Thankfully the baby looks very healthy and normal and is growing well. This was a huge relief since I have not fed this baby ANYTHING for the past 2 1/2 months, not even prenatal vitamins! I feel very relieved. However... the baby was stubborn and "it's" gender is still a mystery! He/she was NOT budging. The kids and I did the Bong Family Dance to get baby to move it's legs, but the kid wouldn't go for it. Hopefully we'll get another look at some point, but for now we are glad to have a healthy baby growing in there and a mommy who is on the mend!
