We just got back from a wonderful, relaxing week with both of our families for Thanksgiving. We are in the lucky situation where our parents and siblings are friends, so we didn't have to pick and choose where to spend the holiday. Fortunately, I was feeling pretty good, so the week was a nice change from some of the pregnancy weirdness that's been going on lately. We spent the time eating lots of good food, watching movies, going shopping (for maternity clothes!), laughing, and talking about the baby. My belly isn't too big, so I haven't had any strangers poke it yet, but that did not stop my sister from showing our baby some love. This little baby is definitely coming into this world with lots of love and support. I hope our baby understood that all the rubs and pats were coming from people who are really, really excited about his or her arrival!
Also, this week marks a great milestone in our pregnancy: we're
halfway there! 20 weeks is officially the halfway mark--so the countdown
begins now! We're excited to find out our little one's gender in a few
weeks. It's hard to wait, but seeing our baby's mature features on the ultrasound will be
totally worth it! Here are a few pictures of our growing baby bump.
