20 weeks, 5 months, Halfway THERE!

I am so excited that I - I mean WE, are at the halfway point! Within the last few weeks I've started feeling a lot of movement which to me felt like rolling around and stretching. A few nights ago I (think) felt my first kick. It was one, followed by two more in a row. It was so neat. Of course, the kicks aren't hard enough for Steve to feel them from the outside, but I am so glad that I can feel them in my tummy!

Only 7 more days until the anatomy ultrasound, could time go any slower?? I mean, really it feels like I've been waiting for this appt. for YEARS! haha I told Steve that I will feel like a kid on Christmas morning, I just cannot wait for that day to get here! I know that I'll probably cry when we find out, I just want to start calling the baby by his/ her name.

Here are some pictures that Mamaw (my Mom) took yesterday evening of the new Mommy AND Daddy at 5 months! Try not to laugh to hard at Daddy!! He's such a goofball, I LOVE HIM!!!



20 weeks - YES, it's all about the POO!!!!!!!
"You're at the halfway mark — congratulations! Your baby weighs about 10 1/2 ounces now. He's also around 6 1/2 inches long from head to bottom and about 10 inches from head to heel — the length of a banana. (The way your baby is measured changes now.) He's swallowing more these days, which is good practice for his digestive system. He's also producing meconium, a black, sticky by-product of digestion. This gooey substance will accumulate in his bowels, and you'll see it in his first soiled diaper (although some babies pass meconium in the womb or during delivery). " - courtesy of babycenter.com
