Half Way There!!

Profile of the Baby Kershaw

Turn your head to the left and you can see the baby's

face and it's arm and elbow.

Turn your head to the left and you will see

the baby's nose, left hand, and an open mouth yawning.

A foot. It measured about 1 inch!

Today I am 20 weeks pregnant, half way there!! This pregnancy has seemed a bit longer than the last one, but we definitely had a rough start! Luckily things are going much better now!! Today we headed to Dr. Putman's for our 20 week sonogram and check-up. We are happy to report that are little one is growing right on schedule and had a heart beat of 152 bpm. Dr. Putman said things looked as perfect as they could be!!!! What more could we possibly ask for?!?!? I know some would say to know the gender, but sorry you'll just have to keep waiting and wishing!!

I have gained 2 1/2 pounds since the last visit, for a total weight gain of 6 pounds. I have to admit I'm pretty proud of myself. I'm hoping I continue on this path. It will make losing the weight afterwards so much easier!!! I have been having a lot of lower back pain, so he gave me some exercises and stretches to try. I'll go back again right before we leave for our trip to make sure everything is continuing to go well.
