The Half Way Mark

Yay, I am finally 20 weeks! This baby is officially half cooked. We had the 20 week ultrasound today and both the nurse and doctor started laughing when they were greeted with this on the screen:



I was given a pretty good promise it's a boy. A boy more than willing to give mommy and daddy the money shot. (Sorry if you're offended by the thereness of the picture; there wasn't a more discreet one available. I also kinda think it's funny.) He was not very willing to sit still for measuring, which meant I got to chill on the bed and watch my little one wiggle on the big screen for almost an hour. It was really starting to annoy the nurse and doctor, who got a bit rough with the belly trying to get him to cooperate. He's a little on the small side, but other than that, he's just perfect.

I did my second progesterone shot the other day and it didn't hurt nearly as bad as the first one. I had it injected in my bum and I think the meatier area helps a lot. I knew that extra junk in my trunk would someday come in handy.

Since I have a total of four pictures of myself pregnant with Ben, I wanted to document the pregnancy more this time around. I'm half way done, and I've taken a whooping three pictures. Better than last time though. Here's the belly a couple of days ago:



I've decided the further back you put the camera, the better off you feel about yourself. I'll be taking all my pictures this way from now on.

There you have it. Ben gets a little buddy and I don't have to buy much. Win-win all around!
