Half Way, Baby! {20 weeks}

Can you believe it?  We are halfway through this pregnancy already!  This brings with it lots of anxiety. Only 20 weekends before baby is here....and that's if baby stays put til it's due date.  {!!!}  So much to get done, get ready and figure out.  This halfway mark also brings a ton of excitement, of course.  Only 20 weeks til we meet what is bound to be our most favorite person in the whole world!

This week:  

We had our 20 week sonogram!  We resisted the urge to find out baby's gender.  {I was so scared that we might accidently catch a glimpse of the goods, but most of the time I had no idea what I was looking at!  Ha!}

Baby looks perfect!  Doctor was very pleased with all the measurements and such.  Sigh of relief! {I wasn't worried that anything was wrong, but it's always good to hear its' good!}

I do have another sonogram scheduled in 8 weeks to check the position of my, *ahem*, placenta.  Apparently, mine is riding a little low at the moment.  The doctor was not at all worried about it, but it's the kind of thing you re-check just to be sure, I guess.  She seemed confident that it will move up as my belly expands.  The good news is, we'll get to see baby again in 8 weeks.  :)

I've been feeling really great!  That being said, I've noticed just within the last few days it's starting to get more difficult to do things like bend over, and get up from a seated position.  I'm also still battling the swelling.....not surprising with the rising temps.  I bought a wrist brace yesterday to help with the pain I've been having from swelling/sleeping funny/ possible carpel tunnel.  It helped alot just wearing it to sleep last night! 

Still powering through watermelon.  

Less heartburn overall.  {knock on wood}

I framed baby's profile, so we have our first official baby picture displayed on the mantle.  Swoon.  :)

So happy.

Love, love.  

p.s.  I've read that some people don't like seeing other's sonogram photos posted online.  Something about not wanting to see other people's uteruses.  If this offends you, I'm sorry. get over yourself.  That is all.
