Happy Half-way Day!

Today is a good day.

Today marks 20 weeks. Which means we are HALF-WAY THERE!!

Crazy, huh.

I feel like time is moving along at just the right speed. Not too fast and not too slowly. I'm so grateful that God has designed it to be that a baby brews for 9 months. I think that's a perfect amount of time. :)

There's not much to report at this half-way mark. At our last doctor's visit, our baby weighed in at 8 ounces and is doing great. I still haven't gained any weight yet ... and I'm so not complaining. It seems weird to have always worried about the infamous pregnancy weight gain, and here I am, 20 weeks into my first pregnancy, and I've actually lost 5 lbs instead of gaining anything. I know that eventually the weight will begin tacking on, but maybe if it takes a while to get it, it'll be easier to take it off. Who knows. I do think that for me, working outside the home is helping with that. If I was at home, I KNOW I'd be snacking more. But, since I'm here at work, there's not much to snack on. And, the snack machine in the mail room only takes dollar bills and since I'm one of those people who never carries any sort of cash, I can't get fat-full treats to munch on. :)

I am wearing mostly maternity clothes at this point. I don't really need them and I definitely don't fill them out quite yet, but they just feel better and are way more comfortable than normal clothes.

Kc enjoys feeling his little son move around. Baby Boy likes to push his head (or butt, or foot or whatever body part it might be) right up against my uterus, and it's very hard and a little on the painful side. I just push him back to where he belongs and all is well. But, Kace likes to try to feel his little movements and push him back when the baby pushes against the uterus.

The pictures aren't the greatest, but they are the best we could do. It's really hard to take a digital picture of a glossy ultrasound photo, let me just tell you. I tried and utterly failed, and Kc tried and was partially successful. So, here you go ... some hard to see and quite dark ultrasound photos for your enjoyment.

Please excuse the vulgarity of this photo, but many of you asked ... so here you go. The itty, bitty arrow is pointing to the itty-bitty boy parts of my little man. Don't EVER tell him that we did this. :)
His sweet, little profile. It looks like, to me, that his mouth is open, but I'm actually really bad about reading an ultrasound picture. Really, really bad.

And that's that.
