Half Way There!

20 weeks! I can't believe I am half way through my pregnancy! This has been a little different pregnancy than my other ones. It started hard. So many changes going on in our life at the same time and I got a little depressed for a while. Plus I was sick for 3 months and it didn't help :( Thankfully After 14 weeks I was feeling much better physically and emotionally. Now I am more active. I'm even going to the gym and it's been awesome! Another thing that's been different is that this little one doesn't move as much Isabella did and sometimes I wish the baby moved more. I'm hoping that in the next weeks, as baby grows, I'll feel more movements. Everything is fine with the baby as far as doctors can tell so I am not worried about her/his well being. I just wish I felt the baby more often. Just because is fun :) 

Another thing that's been different from the other my other pregnancies is how Spencer and Isabella are involved with it. Spencer was so little when I had Isabella and now that both of them understand, it's so fun to see them talk about the baby and they are always kissing my belly :) They often pray for the baby and Bella has turned her stuffed animals to babies and she is the best little mommy! For a while Spencer was set that if it's a boy we had to name him Tarzan! And Jane for a girl :) hahaha ... It's been fun! 

Oh, another thing. As you can tell, I haven't referred baby to a he or she and that's because we decided not to find out what we are having until baby is born! This is going to be our last baby and if I don't do this now, I will never know what's like to have that surprise. It's hard because I can't be prepared ahead of time but I heard that the feeling of finding out after is awesome and Wes and I wanted to experience that. So it will be extra exciting to go on labor this time ;)

Here's a couple of pictures of me at 20 weeks.

  2. You look so cute!! How exciting but nerve racking at the same time to not know what you're having. I bet it's tempting not to look when that part comes up on the ultra sound. Glad to hear you are doing much better. Keep the pictures coming!!

  4. Oi Bonitica,

    Você esta muito fofa!!!
    Você será mãe de três, nem da para acreditar.
    Agora que você ja tem um menino e uma menina, o que vier é lucro (rssss) e tenho certeza que será uma criança linda como os outros dois são.
    Estou com saudades

  5. Halfway is a humungous milestone! Way to go! And it looks like you've still got about 20 of the recommended 25 pounds to gain this pregnancy! Lookin' good.
