20 Weeks Halfway There!

Today marks 20 weeks which means I am halfway into my pregnancy! I wont lie, there have been times that I have LOVED being pregnant and other times that I have not been a fan. Let me get you up to speed on a few things.

First things first this is my belly.
Second, Mike and I have decided not to find out the gender of the baby till he or she arrives on or around November 1st. At first when I suggested to Mike to not finding out the gender I thought it would drive me crazy not knowing. However I love not knowing what the baby is.

Third, While Mike had a two week break from his maintenance pilot course we were able to schedule an ultrasound so he was able to see his baby for the first time. The look on his face when the ultrasound tech put her little device on my belly was priceless. Immediately our little "Sesame" was wiggling around and putting on quite the show for his or her daddy. Apparently our baby is already quite the rebel because it kept squirming away from the ultrasound tech. Also after trying to get the baby to turn for 20 minutes for a profile picture we gave up, it just wasn't in the cards for us to see our cute little baby's profile. Sadly since our baby wasn't being the best sport we didn't get too many interesting pictures however I do have another ultrasound on the 8th of July so don't worry I will try and snag more pictures then.

Lastly, I love feeling baby kick and roll around. It is the sweetest feeling in the world, I am sure I wont be such a fan when he or she starts kicking my ribs but for the time being I love it and it makes my day. I cant wait till I can start to feel the kicks on the outside and Mike can feel them too when I go down to Alabama to visit him.

Awwww you're beautiful! I still look more pregnant than you do though. ;-) I think it doesn't bother you that you don't know what it is because it's driving me insane. You love that and you know it. LOL

How cute are you!!!

I didnt want to find out with our last one but finally agreed on the way up to the US in the elevator. I thought Scott might cry if we didnt find out.

And you will still love the kicks...even when they hurt. Cause it means baby is doing good!! Thats the only part of pregnancy I miss.

I agree with Leslie, even when those crazy limbs make you uncomfortable or even painful at times, it's SOOO good to know they're healthy! I hated it when women complained about the baby kicking - it's the FUNNEST part about pregnancy. So keep that attitude! I'm so happy you're joining the mommy club, there are down days - but you're feisty enough, you'll bounce right back! Love ya!
