20 Week Post

 

Technically I won't be 20 weeks till the beginning of next week, but since my appointment was today and my Dr. appointment is tomorrow I thought I might as well give myself a week advancement.  Things are going pretty good at this half way point.  I am still running 3 times a week and doing crossfit 3 times as well.  I feel great and don't have any complaints.  I am still in the horrible in between stage of clothes.  I tried my maternity pants again and I spend half the day pulling them up and it get annoying.  So I squeeze into my regular jeans and just leave them unbuttoned.  At least they stay where they are supposed to.  I have gained about 6 pounds at this point (see mom I can gain weight just fine).  I think my body is trying to make up for the fact I threw up so much at the start.

The ultrasound appointment went well.  It was such a great thing to see the baby moving around even though I haven't really felt much yet.  I was starting to get worried but there was plenty of wiggling going on. 

 Look at those cute feet.

And of course for the reveal.  She asked right off if I wanted to know.  So she actually looked right away to keep the suspense from killing me.  Drum roll please........it is a girl.  Now I was pretty surprised because I had convinced myself that it was a boy.  So I hadn't even thought about a single girl's name.  I had gotten so used to it that I find it hard even now to switch my mind set to girl.  Logan and Lexie were pretty disappointed.  But Gabe shouted for joy and was so excited.  He loves loves his Hailey.  Those two are always together and he takes such great care of her.  I think he wants another little sister to guard and protect.  And there is no doubt, you can see all clear in the shot.

I am just so grateful that everything looked great.  Now if anyone has girl name suggestions that would be great.  I guess I will have to do some research.
