20 weeks: ohhhh, we're half-way therrrreeee!


ohhhhhh-oh living on a prayyyyerrr! just kidding! (that song will be stuck in my head today though.)

sheeesh. can you believe it? five months have already passed? this spring and summer are going to fly by and right as it ends baby prather will here! happy easter too! what a great day to share with family and friends.

overall, still feeling pretty well. no complaints here. things are getting tighter and my bump is definitely sticking out farther... even though it's not too big yet I definitely bump into things not realizing I have a lil extra in the front. :) I got this "be band" that definitely has been a savior the past couple weeks since I still would like to wear my normal jeans! most have probably heard of it, but here's a link to explain.

mark and I went through our registry and he helped my downsize the crazy list. one of the funniest comments was about a boppy pillow. mark sees it and says, "do you really need an expensive oversized neck pillow? really? what are you going to use it for?" haha. made me laugh. :) he'll quickly learn what all this baby gear is for.

speaking of downsizing the baby gear list... only about a week till we find out if we're having a lil boy or girl! many of our friends and family have made their guesses and most think we have a baby girl on the way. we'll see what blessing god has is store for us :) the more we think about it we really are excited for either.

my goofy hubby mark took a picture with me on easter. he's sympathizing with my pregnancy and has a bump of his own! haha. (he's been able to do this since he was five... oh the many reasons I love this man.)


cravings: I'm a lot more hungry this week for sure. I usually like salads, fruit salad and veggies but I was all about the lasagna, spaghetti and garlic bread. so comforting. oh and I really wanted jello which I haven't really been interested in for a couple years now. :) but it was delicious!
aversions: nothing grossed me out.

what's baby up to?
baby's digestive system is busy creating meconium (a tarry black substance made of swallowed amniotic fluid, digestive secretion and dead cells), which will fill the first diaper after birth. and, speaking of the diaper situation... baby's genitals are now fully formed!
