5th Prenatal visit

Baby update: 20 weeks on 4/5/06. The baby is now 6 inches in length, and weighs 12 ounces (same as a 12 ounce soda). The baby is very quick and hard to take pictures of. At night time the aby moves so much that my stomach feels like it has a fish inside flipping around.

Daddy update: He seems to have gotten his energy back! He has been a great help reorganizing cabinets, cleaning up outside, and just getting prepared for baby. I know that the mom usually experiences a strong sense to prepare the nest for the baby, but it came as a shock to me to see my husband jumping in also. It is really sweet to see.

Mommy update: I am feeling better now since being back on the Prednisone. This medication is supposed to lower my immune system so my body will stop trying to attack whatever it is it thinks it is allergic to. So now I have to be very careful about being around sick people, due to my lowered immune system. I still have a few itch fits, but not near as bad. I follow-up with the Dermatologist 5/3/06. Hopefully he can pinpoint my allergy. The steroid has definitely increased my appetite. I do not feel like I have anymore room to grow. My ribs are aching and are now the cause of sleepless nights. No position is comfortable for too long.
