Half Way There!!!

Well, I'm just a few days over 20 weeks pregnant, which means that, I am half way there. Crazy. We have the crib, it is still in a box in the garage, but we have it. I have to finish organizing the room, there isn't much left to do at least, then it will be ready to have the crib assembled.

I had my 20 week appointment this morning - complete with ultrasound. Everything is right on schedule. I'm technically 20 weeks 3 days today, and the baby is measuring 20 weeks 5 days, and weighs 13 oz. The entire ultrasound was for measurements - brain, skull, femur bone, spine, heart, kidneys and bladder. Everything is looking good, and where it should be. The baby (no we didn't not find out the gender) has long legs, the tech must have said it about 7 times. The heart has all 4 chambers and we got to see it beating away at 154 bpm. The baby was laying face up, head on my left side, and folded in half, the knees were at the chin and the feet were over the head. I have told the baby several times now to stretch out and enjoy the room while you've got it, it's going to get snug in there fast. We did get to see the little feet and toes. As the ultrasound tech was trying to see the lower part of the spine, to get the measurements, the baby kept putting their hand in the way - either this baby has a great sense of humor already or some attitude.

I haven't even gotten to hold this little person yet and I am so in love. It is such an amazing experience, to see this little person, who is about the size of a pop can and know that they are yours. I get to have this little person grow inside of me until they are ready to enter this big world. After they are here, I get to experience the world through their eyes. How can you not be in love?

Speaking of love, Matt and I are about to celebrate our 2nd wedding anniversary. The weather is slightly different this weekend - it is in the low 50s and rainy. There are times that it feels like just yesterday that we said "I do" and there are times that it feels like its been years. I Love You, Matt, thanks for asking me to be your wife, I couldn't imagine my life with out you in it. I cannot wait for this next year and all the changes it will bring. Here's to many more years!!!
