20 Weeks - Halfway There!

I can't believe I am already halfway done with this pregnancy. Time sure does go by quicker with your 2nd. We found out two weeks ago that we are having another girl and Ivan and I are both thrilled. I think everyone else wanted us to have a boy, but we are perfectly happy to have another little girl running around the house.

We haven't done one single thing to prepare for this baby. Name? No. Cute baby stuff? No. Moved Emery into a big girl bed so this baby can have somewhere to sleep? No. Nope, nothing, nada! I have looked a little bit for big girl beds and furniture for Emery and a double stroller, but that's about it. I'm still surprised at how much less time I have to focus on this pregnancy than I had when I was pregnant with Emery.

Pro's of this pregnancy:
  • Knowing I have a little baby growing inside me
  • Laying in bed at 5a listening to the birds chirp and feeling the baby move all around (yes, I did this on Sunday morning and it was wonderful!)
  • Having Emery kiss and hug my growing belly
Con's of this pregnancy:
  • Acid reflux - there have been plenty of nights that Ivan has come to bed and I'm sitting up, half asleep munching on Tums. Yuck!
  • Back pains - Emery now says "my back hurts" because she hears it from me so much
