At 20 weeks, there isn't much to report. I'm feeling a lot of fetal movement, and I finally felt external movement (I had my hand on my lower abdomen when the little spud kicked). It seems that everything is going well. I had to reschedule my ultrasound a week later (23 weeks instead of 22) because I'm going to St. Louis for two weeks to visit family. I need to get my traveling done now, while I still can. I'm sure when I hit the last trimester I won't feel like going anywhere.
We finally put the news out to the public. I've mentioned a few things on Facebook, and more and more people have commented that they think we'll be great parents. All my former students are very excited. Our family is very excited as well. My dad is back from Africa (thank goodness) and planning a visit in the middle of the summer. I hope everything continues to go smoothly. Haven't checked my bp recently, so I don't know if that's holding steady. The maternal fetal medicine doctor suggested I up my bp med dosage, which I have not done. Maybe I'll pick it up if it looks like my bp is going up. We'll see. I'm on a pretty low dosage now, according to him.
Well, anyway, just an update. Still pregnant.
