Halfway There!!!!

So I am now 21 weeks and can't believe that I am more than halfway there. To be honest the first half was pretty easy but I heard the last kicks your butt, so maybe I need to prepare myself. I am still enjoying being pregnant and have had some great things happen. On Friday March 20th while sitting down at work talking to a co-worker I felt the baby kick for the first time. It was very exciting and almost surreal. It took the third time in a row for the baby to kick to really believe that's what was happening. It was so exciting and such a feeling I will never forget.
On Monday March 23rd, I had my 20 week visit at the doctors office. We were accompanied by my Mom, Mrs. Lisa and Hayden(Scott and I's niece).
They did the whole anatomy of the baby and everything was great. All organs are working properly. The ultra sound tech did have a couple of funny comments for us. The baby has a big head and is pretty laid back...if you ask me it sounds like my husband. Ha! This would have been the visit where we could have found out the sex and even though the Mom's were hoping we would cave, we didn't. I honestly was ok with not finding out, Scott on the other hand was a little more anxious. My Mom and Mrs. Lisa really enjoyed the visit and we were so happy to have them there.
So....what does everyone think the sex is, you might ask??? Honestly, most people think it's a Boy. Mrs. Lisa and Mom thinks it's a Boy, not because they saw anything. They just had that feeling. Scott thinks it's a Boy because that's what he wants. My Dad saw the ultrasound and said that's a Boy's face, how he know that I will never know. He had 2 Girls! I think it's everyone wishing. So, what do I think since I am the Mother carrying this Baby? I honestly have No Idea! What I want it to be is a GIRL we all know that!!!

Other than that I am doing great with a 6 pound weight gain and people commenting how I am still not showing that much. I was worried at first when people said it but now that the baby is good,I will take that as a compliment. I am not ready to blow yet as my sister Randi would say....

  2. 6 pounds!? That's awesome. I gained like 15 the 1st trimester!! It's so fun not knowing the sex, it makes the big day that much more exciting. Everyone thought Aden was a boy, too. I "wanted" a girl also- but the second they said "its a boy", I knew that was exactly what I wanted. Lastly, for me at least- the second half of my pregnancy was the best part...enjoy it.

    Yes, I am hoping you will at least BlOW by the shower and hopefully by the time we are at the Beach. I am looking forward to seeing you waddle across the sand!!
    The Gioe's are definately getting excited awaiting the arrival of our little niece or nephew. And Raegan said she is ready to babysit.
    My advice from hear on out is "Nap As Much As Possible" Its what you will miss the most!

  4. Hi Andrea-
    I am SUPER happy for you and Scott...What a most special time.
    We just got back from 6 days at Playa Del Carmen in Mexico with the kids and most of the time I spent contemplating how quickly the last 6 years have gone....Jack & Mike (no longer wants to be called Michael) are getting so big- playing baseball this spring and making friends anywhere they go.
    Love to all!!!
