Today marks the start of my favourite month AND halfway through pregnancy! Twenty weeks is here and I’m so happy to have made it to this milestone. Now as each week passes, we are getting much closer to meeting our new addition!
I’ve always loved September, mainly for its change of season and how it signifies a fresh start. Back when I used to go to school, September marked a new school year, new challenges with fresh opportunity. Everything that happened the previous year forgotten with the slate wiped clean. Now that school is behind me, I still love September and take the same approach.
Summer is over, a new season around the corner and with less than 4 months before baby arrives, I’m going to try and savour the rest of the year before it passes me by.
Highlights of the first half:
- finding out I was pregnant and telling our family
- ultrasound at 12 weeks
- watching my husband bond with our baby
- feeling my first movements
Other pregnancy realisations:
- chocolate doesn’t taste so great any more
- sardine and jam sandwiches do though!
- I’m actually growing another human being inside of me and I love it
- I miss sleeping on my back
- people ask you the strangest things. (Case in point: ‘does it feel weird?’ – asked by a colleague last week)
Here’s to the next 20 weeks. Happy September!
Congratulations on getting half-way
