FYI

My vagina is hiccuping.

19 weeks

Nineteen weeks and I am still feeling fine.

We had our first Centering Pregnancy class and it went well. My fundal height is measuring at 22 rather than 18, but the midwife is not concerned as this is common and tends to even out towards the end (I hope!). The mister heard the baby's heartbeat for the first time during our one-on-one time with the midwife, and it just squeezed my heart watching him listening to the little one inside me.

Over the long weekend, I was lucky enough to have a Girls' Weekend in Toronto. We ate too much and laughed too much. I even managed to stay up until after midnight most nights.

As I was laying in bed this morning, I felt it -- a wave in my lower abdomen.
