Are we...halfway...there yet?

Still have 2 weeks to go before we hit 20 weeks/the halfway point. Pretty exciting stuff. I am ready to start feeling baby t kick (I think cause once they start it keeps on coming I hear:) ) and get our 2nd ultrasound even though we are not going to find out the sex of the baby...not until s/he comes out somewhere on or around April 20th that is!

I am trying to tell my dad's side of the family about the good news and no one is home. It is 8:30 p.m. on a Thursday so you would think someone would be home but of the 9 or so numbers I have called (dad has 5 siblings they all have kids, some of whom have kids, you get the picture) only 2 answers. And I really want to tell grandma myself before someone else spills the beans.

I am not going to tell my dad personally. Since we don't have a relationship I figure he can find out like all the other people I don't know very well who will hear about the pregnancy--from someone else. Complicating this is the fact that he is visiting my relatives this weekend in Cinti so he is bound to find out sooner rather than later. My grandma has dementia so even if we wanted to swear everyone to secrecy we can't. Plus, it is not a secret. I just don't want to talk to him (hey we've managed to not speak since last family Christmas so let's keep the good times going I say!).

Other than that nothing much going on. I got my stitches out from my under-arm mole removal and it came back an ugly mole but not cancerous. I caught the stomach flu and was home 1/2 days on Monday and Tuesday (after mistakenly thinking I was better on Tuesday), and I seem to be 'all cured' on that front.

I've worn preggie pants twice this week because I was getting sick of my 3 pairs of pre-pregnancy pants that still do fit. I felt a little silly but they looked nice and with a longer shirt on no one could tell they had a big ol' elastic panel:) I expect I won't be able to 'pass' for non-pregnant sometime here in the near future!
