20 Weeks

I am 20 weeks and 2 days, officially half way through.  This time around I feel like it is going much slower.  When people ask how far I am, I just feel like it should be more then what it is.  I am trying to just enjoy the time and now that the baby is moving I want time to slow down so I can just enjoy, so this last half will be a lot of fun.  No pregnancy glitches like last time just a few minor things on the side but no major things to mention.  The anticipation of finding out the sex of this baby is purely so I can figure out why this time around I feel so different.  If it is a boy then I feel like that will help me understand a little better but if it is a girl I am at a loss for an explanation.  Anyone ever feel different from one to the other pregnancy and not know why?  I thought maybe I needed to up a specific vitamin. I am just looking for something a little more o-natural instead of what the doctors want to give me.

Cravings: pretty much the same salads, fruit, and veggies. No aversions to report:)

Sleep Cycle: on my side and a half stomach side lay, it makes me feel like I am sleeping on my stomach:)  No Changes to report in the bathroom area, I am still up 2-3 times a night, no matter how little I drink before bed.

Movement: I feel movement all day.  Troy can now officially feel the kicking.

Short Story:  Troy was waiting and trying to feel a kick when my stomach growled and he quickly looked at me and asked if that was the baby:) I then explain I was hungry.

Excited For: This weekend we are having a 4th of July Reveal Party.  I have wanted to do one of these for a long time.  This time around the not knowing does not bother me mainly because I am so indifferent about what this baby will be.  I am fine with either.  Although last time I wanted a boy first and I got Gracie of course I think she is perfect.  God knew I needed to see a father daughter relationship more then anything, for healing purposes I am sure.  But now that I know my girl I am a little scared to have a boy.  We will just have to see...

What to Expect: Per BabyCenter my baby is the size of a banana. 

New Moment: Again I had the house to myself, this time for a full week while Troy & Gracie spent there time in Kansas.  What did I do?  Well, most people guessed right off the bat, cleaned but only the night they left and I was done before they were out of the state of Ohio.  I made it the only night to clean.  The rest of the week I spent working on crafts, hanging out with girl friends (which was much needed) and getting ready for the party.  It was very quiet.  I loved my time.

My next post will be our big announcement of the gender, we will both find out soon....
