Don't ask me to walk up hill with you - I will be at least 10 steps behind! I find that I have really slowed down with my regular walking pace, but going up hills or stairs, it's like my energy level is cut in half. I feel a bit frustrated by this as I can't do what I am used to being able to do. Stephen is being accomodating, but sometimes forgets to slow down enough.
I am also sleeping better. I guess I have adjusted to the new position. But my belly is getting in the way when I try to lean over...I am now at 69 kilos which means I have gained between 1/3 and 1/2 of what the doctor expects me to gain over the entire pregnancy.
As Stephen has written, seeing the baby on the ultrasound was a really neat experience. And I certainly couldn't tell the sex of the baby - it really helped that the technician pointed out all of the parts. I wouldn't have know that the dark area was the stomach. She also pointed out the thyroid - I still can't tell you what the throid looks like, but I guess we saw it. One of my co-workers from Finland said that there it is against the law to tell you the sex of the baby before the birth. We couldn't figure out why that was exactly. It would make sense in countries where girls aren't valued, but I don't think the Finns have any ideas like that!
