20 weeks, 5 days!

Today I am 20 weeks and 5 days pregnant with my precious baby boy!  I'm half way there!  I feel him moving all the time now.  I love feeling him move.  It makes me smile EVERY TIME!  Whenever I feel him, I always say or think "Hi baby."  I really am so amazed when I see my growing belly and feel his little kicks and thumps.  I look at all the kids at school and think how amazing it is that they were conceived and born.  It's such a strange feeling.  I wonder if their moms and dads felt as lucky as we do.  I'm sure they did and still do, but it's so strange that something so natural as making a baby seems so unnatural to me.  I seriously thought I might never get to experience pregnancy and now that I am....I'm just in awe of my body and of this whole process.  I want to enjoy this pregnancy and I feel like I am enjoying it, but I also kind of want it to hurry up because really, all I want is to hold this baby boy in my arms.  I keep telling myself that after he's born, I will relax....I know that's totally not true, but at least he will actually be here with me.  So, here are the belly pics and stats:

Pregnancy Highlights

How Far Along: 20 weeks, 5 days

Size of baby: 10 1/2 inches crown to rump, 13 oz, about the size of a cantaloupe.

Weight gain: Still 15 pounds, I think.  I go back to the doctor at the end of the month.

Maternity Clothes: Yes! I definitely have to wear maternity pants and I have been wearing maternity shirts, but I can also wear some non-maternity shirts, too.

Gender: BOY!

Movement: YES! I love feeling HIM move all the time now!

Sleep: I have to get up several times to go to the bathroom, but I can always go back to sleep.

Symptoms: Chris also says I have started snoring loudly at night...ha!
Cravings: FOOD period! I am loving food these days!

What I miss: Not a thing!

Best moment this week:  Ordering his bedding!  I can't wait to see it.  It comes in at the end of October!! 

What I am looking forward to: Working on his nursery!
How's that scar looking? It actually looks the best it's ever looked because it's stretched out and laying flat.

Belly Button:  I've noticed that my belly button has gotten more shallow this week.   

I ordered his bedding this week from Polka Tot Designs and am absolutely in love with it!!!  My mother in law purchased it for him and I just can't wait to get it in!!!  I should receive the swatches soon so that I can pick out paint color.  Here is a pic below.  WE haven't decided on a name yet, so that back piece will not be monogrammed.  As soon as we decide I will get it monogrammed locally.  Also, the bed skirt will be straight, not ruffled like in the picture.  I plan on having the room painted the same soft blue as in his bedding.  I also ordered a Roman Shade in the same fabric.  I want his nursery to be soft and soothing and I think it will be.  I just can't wait to get it all put together!!  Sooo exciting!!!
