Half way There!

I officially hit the 20 week mark - half way to the baby! It has gone really quickly. It's funny to think that I have basically been pregnant for the entire school year. I am feeling really good. I am very tired after school, but at least I have energy while I'm at school so I get a lot done there and don't have much to bring home. That's a nice change! Another big (with emphasis on BIG) change is my appetite. It NEVER stops. I eat breakfast on the way to school, have snacks during 4th period, eat lunch 6th period, eat a mini-dinner after school, eat a real dinner a few hours later when AJ gets home and cooks :-), and eat cereal before bed. It's insane. I am hungry all the time! My tummy is rounding out, which is fun. I think I am starting to look more pregnant and less chubby.

I went this morning for my 20 week check-up. Everything seems to be fine. I gained 3.5 lbs - so excited! The baby's heartbeat was nice and strong, too. But, we still didn't get a good picture of the baby's spine at the last ultrasound, so I get to have another one! No complaints here! They are not worried about anything - they just want to triple-check and try to get as much info as they can. This time I am going to a specialist at West Penn. The doctor highly recommends this specialist and is confident that this person will be able to see what they need to see and I can be done with it. I'm going to try to make my appointment for a few Fridays from now when we have the day off from school.

I will post an updated belly picture later.
