Ohhhh, we're halfway there!

Today marks 20 weeks, I'm halfway through this pregnancy. Woot! That's both hard to believe and astonishing that its gone so fast. Just like everything in life I guess.

We had our anatomy scan last Thursday and all went well. The report back to me was clear and there was a very obvious penis sighting, so we can officially say Boy #2 will be here in August! Quinn took the news ok. He really wanted a sister, so he is adjusting to the fact that that is not in the cards at this time.

I read through the little questionnaire I posted last week, and besides now knowing the gender, things are pretty much the same. My next appointment is April 3, so that will answer the weight question. I don't weigh myself, as I believe if you feel good, you're doing ok. I think a lot of pregnant women get really hung up on the weight thing and while I get that its tough, we shouldn't be so hard on ourselves. We're growing a person for goodness sakes! And please don't get me started on pregnant women being called fat. It really bugs me.

So that's about it for now. Since I don't have any pictures of me I'm willing to share at this time, here is another adorable picture of Quinn from his birthday. He got a free Mickey ice cream at Magic Kingdom.

Hey, I have a blog!

Wow, who knew? I haven't posted in months, which sucks, I know. I really need to get on it with this thing, including updating it, as it is looking pretty crappy right now. But I digress.

So I'm totally pregnant, pretty cool, right? I'm 19 weeks today, which is one week away from being halfway done, woo-hoo! This is one reason I decided to start blogging again. I'd like to keep a record of this, and since its halfway over, I guess I'd better start now. Here is a fun little questionnaire:

How Far Along: 19 weeks today!

Weight Gain: At my last appt, I was still down a pound from my first appt.

Maternity Clothes: Pretty much that's all I wear, but I can still wear a few non maternity things.

Movement: Starting to feel a lot of movement and more specific movements, which is awesome!

Food Cravings: Nothing specific, but things will strike me at odd times.

Food Aversions: I had a lot at the beginning (hot coffee, ground beef, a few others), but thankfully they've mostly gone away.

Gender: See Below

Symptoms: A lot of general pregnancy stuff, but I've been dealing with low iron and having to take iron pills, which cause some digestive problems. Not fun. I've also just felt a lot more blah this time around than I did with Quinn.

Upcoming Appointments: Our anatomy scan is Thursday, which means we will find out the sex!! So excited about this.


So that is a little pregnancy update. I'm due August 12, I didn't mention that earlier.

Oh, and since I should post a lot about Quinn and how awesome he is, here is a picture! He's 5!
