19 weeks

Winter is here to stay, Christmas is only weeks away.  I am nearing the halfway point of our pregnancy.  At the moment, my belly feels big and full of preassure. (that doesn't look like its spelled right)  Some of the strange symptoms I have are

• numb arms
• stupidity / forgetfulness
• trouble breathing
• my lower abs hurt when I cough

We had our staff Christmas party last night - went to Moose Jaw with Last Mountain Distillery and enjoyed a lengthy meal and visit.  I wore a red maternity dress which didn't quite fit, but allowed me to eat lots :)  Although, service was a little slow so I mostly filled up on yummy virigin mojitos. mmmm

The deer are finally out of the garage and were carved up yesterday, allowing Sean to organize the garage better.  Syd is getting old and has lost control of her hind end, those bad hips.  Scout limps on his front right side - shoulder?  Sara pervails as always, as does Friday.

Baby is the size of a yam - whatever that means.  I can tell he/she is getting bigger all the time.  The Doc showed Sean how to measure the uterus size too.  I am tired and often grumpy.  I have to restart my fire, it is struggling.  Good night
