Today puts me at 19 weeks and it's so hard to believe that I'm almost to the half-way point!  This pregnancy seems like it's flying by, although I bet I won't feel that way during the heat in the summer.  The time changes this weekend and I Can Not Wait!  I'm so sick of it being dark at 5:30 every day and am ready to be able to work in the yard during the week in the evenings.

 

As for little baby Guy - everything seems to be going good.  I've been feeling great and have a lot more energy.  My hips/legs haven't really been hurting this week, but I'm sure it'll be coming back soon.  The only real "symptom" I've been fighting is swelling in my feet and ankles.  I'll look for a step stool this week to bring to work so I can prop my feet up for a bit each day.  I've been drinking lots of water and trying to limit my salt intake a bit, so hopefully that will help.

 

I've been craving sno-cones and margaritas like there's no tomorrow though.  Luckily, my sister owns a sno-cone stand in town and hopefully she'll be starting it back up in the next few weeks, as it continues to get warmer.  I plan on being a permanent fixture there this summer, for sure!  As for the margaritas... I guess I'll just have to refrain for a few more months.  It's rough - already making sacrifices for this little brat!  I kid!  Ok, maybe there's a little truth in that statement...

 

Please continue to pray for a healthy baby/Mama and that my sweet husband will make it out alive and still want to be married to me.  =)
