19 Weeks

Happy New Year!

I hope you all had a great holiday. Morgan and I had a nice visit with our families for Christmas and then we headed up to Sherrill, NY to stay with our friends Aleta and Steve in their new house for New Year’s Eve. Here’s a tip for all of you: Sparkling grape juice is GROSS. Morgan and I thought it would be fun to use that instead of champagne for our midnight toast but we both felt ill afterwards. I won’t make that mistake twice…

We just got back from another check up with Dr. Kim. We heard the baby’s heart beat and the doctor says everything seems to be going well. She also says I’m gaining the right amount of weight even though it feels like I’m already as big as a house (especially after all my holiday indulgences). I’m actually wearing my first pair of maternity pants right now because my regular jeans just weren’t going to happen today. Oh well. I guess it’s all elastic waistbands from here on out.

We have our 20-week ultrasound at Roosevelt hospital next week so we’re both looking forward to seeing the baby again. I can’t believe we’re almost half-way through this pregnancy. I haven’t felt any movement yet but Dr. Kim says I should feel something soon. I'm really looking forward to that.

We’ll post another update soon – we might even have more photos next week!

Love,
Jill
