Tabitha had a very good playdate this morning. The girls had a lot of fun together and I got to have a nice chat with my friend too :) After the playdate, Tabitha and I didn't do much at all. She played various things and I read and played on the internet for a bit. Chris is working much longer hours than usual right now due to inventory at his business. Seeing as how that's his dept. he's very over worked right now. But it'll settle down and we'll get used to his new school schedule and life can go back to normal again. We haven't done lessons in a week and both Tabitha and I would like to get back to them. We're so close to the end of her math 1 that I'd like to get it done so we can celebrate and move on.

There's really no baby news, this is a very uneventful pregnancy which is good but does not lend itself to interesting journal entries. I'm now 18.5 weeks along and doing fine. I've reached the stage where I'm not supposed to lie on my back which means I wake up several times a night to roll back over to my side. I may or may not have felt the baby move. It's so hard to tell at this stage if that's what I'm really feeling. I like to think it is :) As for weight gain, not much. In fact, less than recommended by this time, but I'm not going to worry because I started out overweight and can afford to gain less. That said, I'm going to pay a bit more attention to my nutrition. I'm not going to up my calorie intake, but I'm going to pay more attention to where my calories come from and add more iron and protein as I've been lacking in both those nutrients. I'm not showing signs of anemia at least and I want to be sure I stay that way. Tabitha still talks about the baby's arrival with nothing but love and anticipation.
