Half way there!

I am officially 20 weeks today. I'm so excited and have really loved this whole process. I am still thanking the Lord everyday that I haven't gotten sick yet. We are having so much fun when we go to stores picking out a cute outfit. I haven't had any weird cravings yet but I will sure tell you what they are when I have them. For a while we couldn't have any seasoned chicken cause the smell of it would well.... make me not feel so good.

This is me and my mommy on Thanksgiving. I have a lot to be thankful for!!!



Me and the hubby on Thanksgiving. I can't wait to see him running around chasing and playing with Michael, he's going to be such a great dad!!! Love you sweetie peteie!!!



This is a picture of my and my sissy at Thanksgiving. I am defiantly showing now!!



Now that I am 20 weeks I am feeling Michael moving soooooooo much!!! I think there is a sports player in my belly. :) He hasn't started kicking to where we can feel it on the outside yet. Poor Frank every time I say he's moving and kicking he wants to feel it. I have reassure him that it will happen soon. Here is a little of what I have learned is happening in my 20th week.

You will notice that your baby is more and more active (often in the evenings), and may even be able to see some movements. The growing uterus is pushing up against your lungs and pressing your tummy outward. Your navel may pop out and stay that way until after birth. The baby is about 10 in (25cm) long. Sebum from the sebaceous glands mixes with skin cells and begins to form the protective vernix, which clings to the lanugo all over the baby's skin, especially on the hairier parts and in creases.

I love learning all kinds of different things about his growth and what he is doing in there. I pray that everyone is having a great week and just remember it's half way to the weekend so smile!!!!! :)

You look so adorable!

I used to sleep with my belly against Bruce's back because when I laid down is when the baby seemed to move the most. With each of my babies, that's when he felt them move for the first time. He would get so excited.

Wow - half way - that's awesome. I never got sick in any of my pregnancies - in fact I always felt my best when I was pregnant. Little Michael will be here before you know it!
