20 weeks

We are half way there! This is the part of the pregnancy where I am feeling great and gaining weight :). So far I have gained 13 pounds. I don't have any cravings right now and have been eating relatively healthy. Other then being on the last leg of being sick for two weeks, I'm great.

We had a small scare that ended up fine. After our ultrasound, we got a call from our midwife that the amniotic fluid was low. She said she would be more worried if the baby wasn't absolutely perfect, but he is so she wasn't really worried. We had to go back in for another ultrasound to see baby boy and we measured just fine! We will just continue to monitor how I'm measuring. I tried to stay very calm and tried not to google anything before the ultrasound and I think it worked because in the end we were fine :).

I'm feeling him move a lot now. He loves to hang out on my bladder so even when I don't have to go, I have to go. He loves to be awake in the middle of the night because when I wake to go to the potty, he is moving around a lot! I hope this doesn't mean he will be up all night after he comes.

I still haven't 'popped'. My belly is certainly bigger then it was, but I don't look pregnant and it depends on what I'm wearing if I 'look' pregnant. I am still able to wear most of my pre-pregnancy clothes, even some pants. I like to be comfortable though and wear the belly bandit usually.

Here is my 20 week picture from this morning. Excuse the silly looking face, I just got out of the shower and was still sleepy.

AJ is getting excited. He tells me he is going to teach baby boy to throw a football, walk, run, and jump. He thinks he knows the name of the baby, but we haven't 100% decided on a name, so we will see. I'm not sure if we will announce it or not either.

I'm slowly cleaning out our guest room. We only have a three bedroom house, so we lose our guest room. It didn't get used too often anyway, so we will keep the futon in that room and move AJ in there after it's cleared out. AJ is getting a new bed and dresser and we are keeping all of his furniture for the baby. We will also decorate it the same. AJ said he is ok with this as long as he gets to bring his Redskins pillow and Redskins flag. He is so funny.

It is actually nice that we have all of AJ's clothes, his bedroom decor, toys, etc....so the expense will be far less this time. We have some things to get (stroller, carseat, etc.) and I have some nursing things to get, but for the most part, we are pretty set. Makes having to pay for two kids in daycare easier to swallow.

So that is it--we are doing great and just keep on keepin on!
