Half way DONE

That's right today was day 1 of week 21 meaning week 20 is now behind us and we are half way there! So exciting, i was telling kelly she will probably wish the last 20 were as easy as the first 20.



The belly is definitely growing, even some of her early maternity shirts are starting to 'ride up'. I can't imagine what it's going to be like in 4 months!



Kelly has been having a lot of back aches and I finally caved and gave her about a 15 minute massage. It makes my hands super tired since I have a little bit of early arthritis from all my horse injuries and doing way too many front hand springs as a kid. It is worth it though she sleeps way better, felt better at work and let me tell you happy prego lady equals husband continuing to live.



I spent a few hours last night watching youtube videos of laughing babies. I know there will be sleepless nights, poop and snot and pee everywhere, but I CANNOT wait for those moments when our baby is laughing hysterically or trying to dance to music. So precious.



We got some more baby books sent to us this week, one has a lot of cute baby pictures with quotes. The one quote I found so true said something like " being a parent is the most courageous thing you can do, you are choosing to let your heart walk around outside your body for the rest of your life."

That is so true, I can't imagine loving this little being more thant I already do and we haven't even met yet!



Another book was Belly Laughs by Jenny McCarthy. It is so hysterical Kelly and I can't put it down. Just an FYI though it is pretty crude and not for everyone.



So best news for last. Kelly finally felt our gummi bear move just little "flutterings" no big kicks yet, but she is relieved and excited no less.

I am very jealous because I have to wait until it really gets kicking to feel it, but I am glad it is moving around and telling us it's okay!



We now only have 5 days left of not knowing what we are having. Our appointment is monday at 4:45 We are so excited, I don't know if I will be able to hold my bladder on the way there!

We are planning to share with everyone so no worries. Maybe we can find a creative way to do it?



The week is either going to fly by or crawl, not sure yet. Will blog again once we know. Say a prayer for a healthy normal baby on the ultrasound.

Check out Kelly's blog and her side of the story, but don't ditch me on here! http://seankellybaby.blogspot.com/
