20 weeks!!

The HALF-WAY MARK!!!! So glad to be here!

(This picture is deceiving, because I look a lot bigger than this in real life)

Pregnancy Highlights:

How Far Along: 20 Weeks

Size of baby: 10 inches (from i-pregnancy app)

Total Weight Gain/Loss: Gained 5 pounds (and here comes the weight!)

Maternity Clothes: Mixture of regular and maternity. Maternity clothes are SO much more comfy!

Gender: A beautiful boy! Henry William Lewis

Movement: I felt him move a little last night. Dr. Tynes did not seem worried. She said they don't even have people start a kick count until 28 weeks.

Sleep: I sleep really well except for the bathroom breaks and tailbone pain

What I miss: nothing!

Cravings: I have been loving cold fruit...it hits the spot! and Yellow cake with chocolate icing. I cannot resist the pieces of cake they sell at Target.

Symptoms: tail bone pain...when I do too much it really hurts to walk or sit. Lying on my side is the best way to relieve it.

Best Moment this week: going to the doctor 2 times this week! I got to hear Henry's heartbeat twice! It is a beautiful sound.

Update from the specialist: They wanted me to go to see Dr. Jones, the specialist when I was 20 weeks because of the echogenic focus. They did a VERY thorough ultrasound and measuring EVERY single thing on our baby. They were so nice and gave me lots of pictures. Dr. Jones met with us in his conference room and showed us all the pictures. He said that he didn't see anything for us to worry about. He doesn't even want to see me back at 32 weeks for another ultrasound! Praise God for this awesome news!!! Everything is measuring in the normal range.


Bennett always watches Neil take my picture and this time he wanted his taken! Such a cutie even with mittens on in 65 degree weather!
