weeks 19 & 20...halfway there.

I made it to 20 weeks.  For whatever reason, making it halfway always seems like a huge milestone.  I still don't feel like my pregnancy is flying by or dragging.....it's just floating along.  Baby Artie is moving a lot more these days and it's comforting.  It's something I know I'll miss when I'm not pregnant anymore.  I'm also really thinking of him as a "he".  I'm gaining weight steadily and I feel like it's all going to my belly (and maybe a bit to my butt and thighs;).  I've been comparing some pictures of this far along with Delia to now, and I am carrying differently too.  Fortunately, I only have 4 more days until we hopefully find out the gender!  My ultrasound is Monday evening.  Honestly, I'm not very anxious at all.  I think I've come to terms with waiting so it will just be a nice surprise.  I will be very happy with boy or girl, despite thinking having two daughters would be fun.  Delia is going to be a big sister regardless! 

At this point, I've said goodbye to all forms of regular pants/jeans/shorts.  I can still pull off some non maternity shirts since they make them so long now but I'm limited even there.  It's been hot (very hot) so tank tops, skirts and shorts are my friends.  Thank goodness I won't be in my 3rd trimester until September. 

And now for a photo update....

19 weeks

20 weeks...taking advantage of the suit I bought!  The pool has been our friend this summer.  :)

And now here's the comparison that makes me think boy.  On the left is 21 weeks along with Delia.  On the right is 19 weeks with this baby.  I'm so much more belly this time around.
