20 weeks!

I am now 20 weeks Pregnant! I can't believe I am halfway there already. Time is a flying! Erica and I organized the basement, but we still have to clean out the spare room. We are supposed to get that done sometime this week. I have another ultrasound on Monday, since they couldn't check everything off the list yet...Justin said to make sure they find the penis this time! yes right buddy, its a girl. I can't wait to paint. I have some crafty plans for the colors and the border. I'm so excited, to get things set and in there.

I've been able to eat a little bit more, but not so healthy. Boxed Pizza, spaghetti o's, fish sticks, tater tots, soup...these are my dinners. I can no longer cook. It just don't taste good. Whats funny is this is the stuff Justin and I ate when we first moved out of our parents house...14 years ago! before I learned how to cook, and had a couple recipes up my sleeve.

Emma Lynn is the name right now. Its been sticking the last couple days and all of us are calling her Emma. I like Erica and Emma together. I don't know any Emma's, personally anyways, and of coarse most important it sounds good in a sporty way...that A at the ends carries in the air like Erica's does! So the name may change down the road, but right now, that's out girl!

She is really kicking now also, Justin and Erica can easily feel it, though they have to sit next to me, and keep their hand on my belly or a while. Its our nightly fun...
this is what Ivillage says about our baby at 20 weeks. I love these things!

"Hooray! You're halfway there! And in case you don't believe 20 weeks is a milestone worth celebrating. Congrats! This is also the week your bambino is able to flash you on the sonogram, revealing what exactly he or she is packing.From this point forward, your baby will put most of her energy into gaining weight and, not coincidentally, so will you! Right now your baby weighs approximately 10½ ounces and is about 6½ inches long, about the size of a can of Red Bull (which has way too much caffeine for a pregnant woman to be drinking). I wiggle around alot now and can wake Mommy up at night... only 140 days to go!"
