19 weeks and kickin'

I realized the other day that based on my December 31st due date that today I am actually 19 weeks and 1 day. But I like having my week change over on Fridays for some reason, I look forward to it all week! So I'm sticking with it. Baby Haynes has been moving all around and I love it! I can tell HE is getting stronger, every once in awhile I feel a good thump in there. Still most often about 20 minutes after I eat but also when I lay down at night I get a few squirms and bumps. Almost halfway there (or maybe more than halfway, who knows??)! Oh, and today the baby is supposedly the size of a large heirloom tomato. 6 inches long and 8 ounces or so.

I have been really emotional lately. Everything I watch on TV or read makes my eyes fill with tears, especially if it has anything to do with kids or families or babies. I watch the occasional Baby Story and I cry every time. I have been following this other couple's pregnancy blog and I cry reading all of the posts on there (but have learned a few things too!) lately. I read Mandy's blog today and cried over that as well. I have always been a crier but this is ridiculous!

Next Friday I will be 20 weeks, PLUS I will be done, done, done with my MBA. Actually I will be done on Wednesday, so just 5 more days. Holy cow that is so exciting! This weekend I have some homework and studying to do to get ready for two presentations I'm doing but oddly I am not stressed about it at all. Now that I'm at the very end it seems so insignificant in the big picture of all that I've been doing for the last 3 years. What's really funny though is that this morning I was walking by McDonald's on my way to my building and thought how I wouldn't really mind going back to work there! Haha, can you imagine?

Did you have an ultrasound or is this just the way you're leaning?!?? Or wait, did you decide that you would just call it a 'he' instead of an 'it' for now? hmm...

"He" is just my guess :) We'll find out on the 27th.
