On the Down Count

5 1/2 months. Finally, I'm over the half way hump, and what an uphill climb it's been. This past week I've started to really FEEL pregnant. Here's what's been going on:

1. She's really started to move, and of course I feel it most at night when I want to go to bed.

2. I've started to swell. It started with my fingers, then yesterday I noticed that I didn't have a left ankle anymore. At least the right ankle's still there!

3. I've gotten more tired recently. How I'm going to teach and go to class at night this semester is beyond me.

4. I can't find a comfortable position to sleep in.

5. I'm up all night peeing. Why I can go for hours during the day without having to pee, but I'm up every 2 hours while I'm sleeping is beyond me.

6. I feel big. I'm may not look really pregnant (camouflaged by a big tummy already), but I feel it.

I'm sure there's more, but this is all that's coming to mind right now. I promise to post a picture of my tummy in the next day or two. I'm waiting for a day when I actually get ready, so probably Sunday.
