18-week update

photo7.JPG Well, I'm pretty sure it was the B-complex that did it - but no headaches since last Monday! A whole week - what a coup.

There has been quite a bit of kicking, or some kind of movement anyway. The other day I called Julian over after a nap to show him how my belly was suddenly a bit lopsided and you could actually see the bulge of the uterus under my belly button. That made him a little squeamish for some reason. He is going to need some acclimatising before birth!

Anyway, you'll be relieved to know I am no longer lopsided. I don't have much of a belly yet - sometimes at night I do, but by morning everything's back down again. So I'm still not getting any free bus seats! Come on baby - I'm counting on you! If you could appear by approximately 7:30 that would be most helpful as the 32 can be quite busy at that time.

This weekend we did the Sun Run - my time was really lousy, but apparently baby on bladder + jogging motion = frequent rest stops. There was quite a line at some of those porta-potties. Anyway, next year we hope to be doing it with a jogging stroller.

Also, while I'm still not having that energy burst everyone keeps telling me about, I will say that I am feeling relatively calm. All those hormones seem to be levelling out, and I am not yet completely freaked out about the fact that I haven't done any work all term and have an exam and 65 pages worth of paper to write in the next two weeks.
