20 Week Check-Up

Hi all! So I have reached my half way point in the pregnancy, which is a little scary. Here is a picture taken at exactly 20 weeks.
I feel like I have already grown more since then, and it has only been 5 days. I guess I will need to post these kind of pictures more often.

In other news, I went to the doctor yesterday and had my 20 week check-up. I have gained 8 lbs since becoming pregnant- all of which have come in the last 5 or so weeks- which is good, but also frustrating since I have spent my whole life trying not to gain weight. Baby girl was not quite as cooperative this time and we did not get a lot of great pictures; however, we were able to see that she seems to be perfectly healthy. She has both kidneys- so she is one up on me already. Her heartbeat was strong at 142 beats/min, and her heart looked good and strong. They said her head was measuring 4 days bigger than my expected due date, but they wont change the estimated date yet. Here is the one semi-decent picture we were able to get.

Durrett, my mother-in-law, came with me to my appt and then we went to a few baby stores in Jacksonville to look at cribs. It is an understatement to say that it was very overwhelming wandering around babies-r-us, looking at everything we have to get before she arrives. Thankfully we have friends and family who can give us an invaluable amount of advice and hand-me downs ;)
