20 Weeks!

I'm 20 weeks. Wow!




Here's what has been going on in pregnant land:
  • I felt the baby move for the first time a few weeks ago and seconds later, Mark felt a jab/kick. so neat!
  • My hair and nails are growing, growing, growing.
  • Maternity pants are comfortable.
  • Marternity clothes are expensive. Especially the cute clothes. There is a store in Columbus that sells "used" maternity clothes on the CHEAP and the women that work there are very friendly and helpful. I have been blessed by friends and neighbors who have loaned me their fall maternity-wear.
  • I haven't had many cravings, just food that I prefer over others...hehe.
  • Last Wednesday, we met a doctor that we feel 100% comfortable with. She also happens to be a red-head and left-handed. She made us feel completely at ease and much more like first-time parents and less like a number. Such a blessing!
  • Everything is measured in weeks, i.e., "sweetie, do you remember when I made that cucumber salad?" "hmm. yeah, that was around week 12."
  • The doctors have all said how active the baby is every time we go in for a visit. This has lead us to believe it was a boy. WRONG... 
IT'S A GIRL!!! 


We saw our little cutie today and all of her growing and developing body parts. Wow, it is amazing how my body is growing another human being. She also has something she likes to do already, check out the video below:


We're really excited to meet our little girl. Yes, we have a name picked out. No, we're not telling anyone. P.S. That is not her middle finger.


Thank you for all of your love and encouragement!
