The Half Way Mark: 20 Weeks

Week 19 was full of different doctor's appointments. I am now going to physical therapy 2x a week: Land on Tuesdays and Water on Wednesdays and have several pregnancy stretches to do 3x a day at home. This is because of a muscle (piriformis I believe) that surrounds my sciatic nerve. Apparently it is very tight and it is putting pressure on the nerve which is what has been causing the pain I have been having. So far my pain level has dropped from a 9 to a 7 so that is good. =)

The nausea is still here and some of the days this past week I barely had anything to eat. Because I am overweight to begin with, it is good that I am losing weight. However, I am still concerned about the baby. My OB does not want me to gain more than 15 pounds by August. If things keep going the way they are I don't think this will be a problem. How much weight have I lost? As of October I have lost 22 pounds. 12 of those pounds are from December to March. We will see what happens. I am seriously doubting I will have "the bump". =( 

I am still craving Chocolate Milk. There really is no particular food that I "must have".

Surprisingly, and only by the Grace of God, I have not been depressed or worried. I am confident that no matter what happens He has a purpose.

Well that is pretty much all I have to say.

Love,
Kristina
