Halfway There & Other Happenings

It's hard to believe I am halfway through this pregnancy! Just 20 weeks (or less) to go!



I delivered both Luke and Paige at 39 weeks (Luke was at 39 weeks 2 days and Paige was at exactly 39 weeks so we'll see what this baby has planned!

I feel really good, which is so crazy to say. I definitely have a lot more energy these days - I can even make it for a 9 PM tv show a few nights a week :) I have no aches and pains yet and FINALLY within the last couple of days I have felt the baby move more regularly. I was feeling flutters here and there for a few weeks, but the kicks and rolling are definitely happening more often! Thank goodness because it defnitely helps ease the paranoia I have this pregnancy. And my belly has definitely popped recently!

As you know we had our ultrasound last Friday and I do believe we have a healthy baby boy! The tech didn't say much other than the baby was measuring on time. My next doctor's appointment is on the 18th so I will get more information, but they would have called if anything serious came up.

While the tech was getting the measurements she was laughing because she said the baby was moving, but it's legs were glued together. I could only picture the baby moving like a mermaid in there - which is actually really funny because Paige wants to name the baby Ariel (if it was a girl of course)! The baby must have opened it's legs and the tech said she was 90% sure she knew the sex. Is 90% enough to move forward with getting rid of girl clothes??? I am hesitant still, but am hoping my doctor can provide confirmation or let me know if I will be having another ultrasound (which I don't expect as long as everything is good!). Wally and I have discussed doing an elective 3D ultrasound, but we'll see...

In other news, we can check something else off our list - Luke and Paige got into the Catholic School we were hoping for! We have been waiting over a month to hear so it is a relief to know that we have that all set.



And this little doggy has been cuddling up with me every night on the couch. I remember her doing that when I was pregnant with Luke and Paige. Those dogs just know don't they. Now, whether she is truly happy about it is another story!



And these two...they have been inseparable lately :) More to come on that!
