Half-way

I am 20 weeks pregnant today - half-way through the pregnancy. It seems so weird to be half way through, and I can't believe how much more I have to do before he/she gets here!

We have been looking into buying a new car because our 15 year old Blazer with 190,000 miles (while it runs great) maybe a little too unreliable for a new born.
We've been looking into day cares. The plan is that I will stay at home for 6 months or so and look to start a job next summer... but we still need to start putting our names on waiting lists so we can have a good spot at a place where we feel comfortable.
We still need to set up the baby's room! We need to register, buy furniture and start getting the house ready!
And finally I need to graduate. Wow. I can't believe I've been in school for over 5 years, and I am still not done. 2 papers under my belt with so much more to do! I was looking at the calendar today made me realize that if I want to graduate before the baby comes then I need to to get some major work done in the next 3 months!


As far as how I've been feeling. My back was aching a little last week, but that seemed to have tapered off after going to the pool twice. I have been sneezing a lot and wake up a stuffy nose. I've started to forget a few things. For instance today I couldn't remember my social security number or a website I visit all the time... But after reading horror stories, I've been very thankful at my lack of symptoms. Hopefully the second half of my pregnancy will be just as smooth as the first.
