Halfway!

So today marks the halfway point of this pregnancy. I can't believe it has already been 20 weeks. This past week was a bit harder at work than typical for me, just a bit more walking/standing than sitting due to a coworker leaving to go back to school. Because of being on my feet a bit more I noticed Friday and Saturday that my ankles and feet were really swollen. Today I took it easy around the house and just spent time watching tv and reading baby books all afternoon with my feet up. The swelling has gone down and I'm feeling a lot more relaxed. While I was laying on the couch I felt the baby move a few times and when I looked down I could actually see it! It was really weird to see part of my belly poke out at random times.

I have been researching a bunch of baby stuff and feel I am almost ready to venture into the baby store again. Last time it was so overwhelming because I didn't know about any of the brands or anything, but now I feel prepared.

Thursday is the big ultrasound day! Hopefully Peanut won't be modest and will give us a good view of whether we should be buying blue or pink.

I decided that since I am at the halfway point now would be a good time to include a baby belly bump picture. The first is 5 weeks pregnant, taken just a few days after we found out, and the second was taken today.
