Wiggles, kicks and heartburn

Wow... Little Miss Molly is REALLY making her self known these days.
If its not the kicks and wiggles that I am loving (and big sister Mia has felt once) its the horrid heartburn I have got that seems to be getting worse as the pregnancy is progressing.
Gaviscon is like my best friend - just like it was in my pregnancy with Mia. I hope Molly is born with just as much hair. All this heartburn and a bald baby would feel like a kick in the teeth. (Of course that's a joke as I am so very happy to just be pregnant and I feel so blessed I get the chance to be pregnant again)
These past 22 weeks have flown by and have been a right bag of emotions. I am over halfway now and that is beyond crazy. Two more weeks and my baby COULD survive on the outside (although the chances are slim but possible) of course we want her to bake her for as long as possible but sometimes babies like to be born way before they are meant too and it's nice to know that if she did choose to come soon modern medicine would be on her side.
As for me? I feel so happy and great. My only complaint/downside is that my hips are really giving me trouble. To the point it hurts to walk some days. Apart from that I am loving being pregnant.

Half baked!

Well we made it! Were 20 weeks in already. The weeks really are flying by super fast. Just another 20 to go till my due date.
Baby is about 26cm's this week. She has been letting her self known too this week! Her movements are for sure getting stronger. I don't think it will be much longer before feeling o the outside - however she isn't very active. It just seems to be every now and then when I relax I feel her moving around.
My hips are playing up still but it's a small price to pay to have a healthy baby at the start of March.

No more jeans

It's official. I can no longer sit down in my jeans without my bump getting in the way. They are also starting to feel tight when I button them up. I feel pretty pleased to have gotten nearly 19 weeks of pregnancy out of them!
At least we know baby is growing nice and strong, even if it means my favourite jeans have to be put to the back to the wardrobe.
