Oh, we're half way there!

And seriously living on a prayer! I can't believe I am 20 weeks pregnant already. Time is flying by. I already want to slow it down and enjoy every minute of it. A lot has happened since my last update and I hate that I am not a better blogger.

I had my appointment with the hypertension doctor, which actually ended up being an appointment with the hypertension nurse. I got in right away and she took my blood pressure. It was 125/78 which is normal! Next she hooked my forearms to some electrodes and proceeded to run some tests. Everything came back perfectly normal! She took my results to the doctor and he said there was no need to even see me!

Then yesterday, the 23rd, we went into the regular office for our anatomy scan. The tech is always the same one so she asked if she gave us a guess as to the sex at our 13 week ultrasound. She said girl at 13 weeks, but we didn't take it to heart. So she started the scan and was able to get all the measurements. A beautiful beating, 4 chambered heart. Two arms, two legs. Then she got to the bottom area. She asked if she said "possibly a girl or definitely a girl". She only said possibly a girl and when we told her that she said, "Well you didn't buy any pink did you?" We laughed and said no! And she said, "Well, that is good because it's a boy!"

Ahhh! A boy! I would venture to say 90% of our friends and family guessed girl. Jason even said girl.

How far along? 20 weeks!

Total weight gain: I still think I am only up around a pound!

Maternity clothes? I am in maternity pants, but still in my own shirts. My shirts are starting to get short in the front though.

Stretch marks? No new ones.

Sleep: Not bad. It could be better, but I refuse to give in to a maternity pillow.

Best moment this week: Passing my tests with the hypertension nurse. Getting to see my sweet babe's heart beating away, oh and finding out he is a healthy baby boy!

Miss Anything? No, not at all.

Movement: Yes! Lots of movement now. I wish Jason could feel it though!

Food cravings: I haven't been craving anything lately!

Anything making you queasy or sick: No, I have been feeling great!

Sex of the baby: Baby Boy!

Labor Signs: None. 

Symptoms: Growing belly, movement!

Belly Button in or out? In.

Wedding rings on or off? Still on.

Happy or Moody most of the time: Very happy!

Looking forward to: Now that we know we are having a baby boy, I am looking forward to registering and having my showers. Getting the nursery ready! So much to look forward to!
