carrying around a canteloupe


'Tis week 20, 1/2 way there, and this week the baby (Mallory) is the size of a canteloupe. Seems a little odd to compare your little one to various fruits and vegetables, but I suppose it does make it easier to determine how big they are getting.

I am beginning to feel like I'm carrying around a canteloupe! Still no kicking that I really feel yet, I get the occasional flutters of something going on down there, but no obviousy kicking, and as much as she was moving on the ultrasound, looks like I'll get a lot of kicking!

I'm trying to keep some sort of exercise routine going. I have no intentions of being the size of a whale just because I'm having a baby! I'm pretty much right on target in regards to weight gain, so that's good. I've been walking on the treadmill several times a week and hope to get in the routine of walking for at least 30 minutes every morning and then perhaps doing something else a couple evenings a week.

The first half hasn't been to bad, I really don't feel pregnant other than my growing belly now getting in the way of things that used to be easier! Will probalby be glad it should be warmer the last couple months so flip flops and other slide on shoes will be an option!

Enjoy your week, Ben, myself and our little canteloupe will!
