growing baby

So I’m 18 weeks pregnant now (out of 40) and I’m feeling really great during the day. I have lots of energy (which is good since I somehow need to finish the diss in the next month), am enjoying my new maternity pants (elastic rules!) and feel all-around chipper. I do sometimes accidentally stretch my round ligament (thingie supporting uterus) and that hurts like heck; luckily, that doesn’t happen too often.

The past few nights, however, have been a different story. I can’t get comfy falling asleep! Plus there’s the icky nighttime heartburn. Given that I’m barely showing at this point, I’m a bit concerned about sleeping as I get bigger…we’ll see how it goes.

Anyway, here’s a picture of me and Ellen–both of us are almost 18-weeks pregnant in the shot. I imagine these will just get funnier as we get larger and larger.
