Halfway!


Well here we are, at 20 weeks finally.  So is it all downhill from here or what?  :)

I just took a couple of pictures this morning.  Not my favorites so far but this is what I'm wearing to work today and I didn't want to change into a bunch of outfits to find one I loved.  I am waiting for a guy to come quote us on water heater/AC install so that would be awkward if he got here and I was in the middle of changing.  Not sure what is up with the lighting, it sure makes my belly look pale!  Maybe because it is...

I got a body pillow finally last night.  I had been trying to make do with my king size pillows but it just wasn't doing the trick.  The body pillow is actually quite a bit longer so I can hug it and still have enough left over to put between my knees.  I had kind of been avoiding getting one, but yesterday after work I got a massage and my massage therapist said I just HAD to get one.  She is 19 weeks pregnant with twins, so we had quite the pregnant gal chat for my entire massage.  Last time I had a 30 minute and we didn't exchange more than 10 words, but yesterday we talked non stop for a whole hour.  I didn't really mind the chatting because it was a good distraction from some of the more intense parts.  I feel a lot better today though, she did a good job.  Oh, and I'm putting in a vote on her behalf, which is for a boy :)

Your belly looks awesome, Manda. :) I wish I had a strong opinion either way on whether or not you've got a girl or a boy in there but I don't yet. Ugh. I need to see you in person! But I guess by the time that happens, you'll already know the gender. :) I keep thinking girl but I know you have a motherly intuition that it's a boy, so can't ignore that. I just can't wait for you to find out. And then wait one more month so I can find out MINE, too!

You look great!
My mom was commenting the other day that she remembers her and your mom looking into a mirror together when they were pregnant with our sisters, and how they had a laugh about how brown her belly was and how lily white your mom's was. :)
So, what's the hold up already? You're 20 weeks. Can't you get an earlier appointment!?
I got this coupon in the mail for a discount for a 4D ultrasound at some clinic in Redlands. 100 bucks for a 2D/3D/4D ultrasound, including a DVD of the 4D! I made an appointment for the 31st. Can't pass it up, especially because I had high expectations for my 20 week ultrasound and the tech was a total jerk and I didn't really get any good pics. Have you thought about getting a 4D? I couldn't believe how cheap it is!
