Baby Fish Round 3! 20 Weeks

I'm finally posting a pregnancy update!  My sister (the baby of the family) has mentioned more than once that her baby book is the least complete.  I'm here to tell you that you truly have less time after you have a baby!  And then another one.  And then another one.  ;)  That being said, I definitely could be doing a lot better with these updates, so I am going to try harder.  I really meant to start earlier, but weeks seem to fly by and here I am already past the half way point!  I've taken a few pictures here and there, but the chalkboard is officially back in action.

How far along: 20 weeks

Maternity clothes: Just got them out last week and I was again reminded of how fabulous maternity pants feel!

Best moment this week:  So my funny ultrasound story.  We decided not to find out what we are having this time around.  The plan was for Andy to say, "it's a ---!" in the delivery room.  With Josh, I accidentally saw some boy parts during the ultrasound when the tech was moving the probe around.  This time, the tech was super careful, and we both left without a clue as to whether we were having a boy or a girl.  Everything looked perfect at the ultrasound, so we were supper happy!  The next day, I emailed off some of the pictures to my family.  No sooner did I click send did my mom respond that she saw some boy parts.  I had actually just noticed the same thing in what appears to be an obvious picture of boy parts.  (On of those fancy 3D pics!)  So, thus started a discussion about boy parts versus umbilical cord.  Andy has 2 friends who are radiologists who both felt that you couldn't tell from the pictures.  Some of my medical (but not ultrasound tech) friends also feel that you definitely can't tell.  I've emailed my OB, who has yet to respond for verification.  (Probably because he thinks I'm crazy!)  So, having a healthy baby was definitely the highlight of my week, but now I'm just so curious to know if that picture does indeed show that I'm going to have a trio of boys!!

Miss anything? Not really, though I wouldn't mind a glass of wine once and awhile.  At the same time, I feel like this pregnancy is going so fast that I'll be enjoying a glass of wine in no time at all.  

Movement: I've been feeling flutters for weeks now, but I'm just starting to feel movements more consistently.  The ultrasound tech said that I have an anterior placenta, so it basically cushions the kicks so I will have to wait until they are stronger to feel them more frequently.

Sleep: Sleep has been good!  If I do wake up, it's probably from Josh crying versus anything pregnancy related. 

Anything making you queasy or sick: Nope!

Labor signs: No, thankfully.

Exercise: Ugh.  I need to.  Andy and I are going to start the 21 Day Fix again on Friday, making obvious adjustments for the pregnancy.

Looking forward to: I'm always looking forward to the weekend!  I had off Monday and Wednesday this week and it was AMAZING.  Something I could definitely get used to!
