Ooooh, We're Halfway There!

The halfway point has been reached. The boy is forming a solid little belly and is moving nonstop all the time. I am constantly begging and pleading with him to please take advantage of his whole womb and not just the lower region as he sits on my bladder ALL DAY LONG. I don't recall this being an issue with Rivers at all but this time it is BAD. So bad that I'm using a lot of CAPS up in here. Other than this I am at a really comfortable point in my pregnancy. I am beginning to start on the nursery so that I'm not 8 months pregnant and making 20 pound curtains that required me to sit on the tile floor for ample space like I did with Rivers. Also, the coming months are bringing a lot of holidays and I know time will fly and before we know it he will be here. At this rate he will be here nameless but that's ok. I'm sure we will be forced to agree on something once the birth certificate paperwork is in our laps. Rivers is starting to catch on to the idea of the brother and everytime I ask her where baby brother is she points to my belly. Whether or not the belly gets a kiss depends greatly on the time of day and her overall mood at the moment.

And for my own paper trail:

Pregnancy Stats:

How Far Along: 20 weeks

Size of baby: Banana

Total Weight Gain: 10 lbs

Gender: Boy

Movement: As previously mentioned: all the time. He is always kicking really low and a lot of times his movement feels like he's doing shimmies or rolls. I never experienced that with Rivers.

Sleep: Pretty great sleep right now and a dear husband who gets up with Rivers every morning so I can have 30 extra minutes.

Cravings: Spicy things, fall baked goods, baked goods in general: specifically these carmelitas things I'm going to have to try tonight

Best Moment this week: Seeing our little man moving at his 20 week ultrasound and hearing that everything looks wonderful.

Bummer Moment of the week: Finding out that I will have to take the gestational diabetes test again at 24 weeks. Hoping and praying for normal results so that I can enjoy carmelitas the rest of my pregnancy if they turn out to be as delicious as they look.
