20 Weeks 3 Days HALF WAY THERE!!

I know..my life already revolves around baby..I apologize..but hey, this is some pretty exciting stuff..or would you rather hear about our income taxes that we owe (for the first time EVER bleh!) or perhaps how our two cats are handling being a couple again? Things are fine there by the way ;)



Anyway, baby news!



Baby is lookin good! Weighing in at about a pound. Everything looks healthy, still measuring ahead at 21 weeks 5 days (currently 20 weeks 3 days)!! Heartrate was 135, so in the "boy" range, whatever that old wives tale means LOL.

Now, she took all her pictures, never told us to look away, but managed to do a gender scan without us knowing, which drops me in the GIRL boat, because i think boys tend to be more obvious, no?

Everyone else is calling a girl!! Who knows! This not knowing business is kinda fun :)

The baby didn't do a whole lot of moving. I even drank some sugary iced tea before we went, but the U/S tech had to poke to make it move a bit!

My placenta is anterior, which could be why the muffled/lack of kicks! I THOUGHT it was! It is starting though! It's kinda neat, but only in the past few days have I felt really much at all besides two isolated twitch incidents nearly 3 weeks ago :)

I've been feeling really good, of course, minus the minor growing pains. I always feel blessed that everything has gone so smoothly so far. I know my mom is looking out for this baby.

Here are some pictures. She gave us like seven pictures, but the tech herself wasn't very cheery..she had about as much personality as a dish rag! All of the shots are profiles, but one attached has an ARM in front of it's head. We have settled on names, or so we think ;) BUT we are keeping it secret. Joe's taken to calling IT Baby Kenobi..as in Obi Wan? He thinks its funny, and it's starting to stick LOL! Hence, the labeling!
