Long story short about the appt: Dr. said everything looked perfect with baby, she had no concerns about anything, and even she couldn't determine what the gender was (but for those that don't know, we are waiting to find out!) Baby is about 11oz and still estimated to be due around Feb. 1, 2012.

2 Another halfway mark that I'm thrilled to be passing quickly, is my above mentioned, 20 week mark of pregnancy. I seriously am in awe at how quickly these last 5 months have come and gone. Everyone keeps asking how I'm feeling. And since I have nothing to compare it to, I feel absolutely great. Knock on wood (do it! Again, I'm a superstitious Irish woman) I haven't had any morning sickness, pains, or other general pregnancy symptoms. The only thing I was not prepared for was the some what uncomfortable moments my body goes through. But please don't say "oh just wait..." I can't tell you how many times I hear this daily. "You think you're tired now, oh you just wait." "You think your back hurts now, just wait another couple months.."
Since Bryan was here to help celebrate us hitting the half way mark, we decided to run to Babies R Us and try to register for some of the big ticket items, ones that I knew he would want to take part in picking out together (bedding, cribs, strollers, etc.). However, we ended up spending almost 4 hours there trying to complete our registry. We both were over whelmed, but it was comforting for me to have him there, just to see him get small thrills of visualizing our baby using one of the objects we picked out in the near future. I think we are still in a state of shock about us becoming parents soon. But we are definitely up for the challenge, and looking forward to it.
Here you can see the 20w belly, yes I look like a fatty, and the 20w baby.
Love you all xoxo,
