20 weeks!

We've made it to halfway! According the babycenter.com, Tina is the length of banana! And really, I don't feel very different from how I have been feeling... so no big "I'm halfway" excitement going on. Tina is moving lots, and I am trying to drink my water, but as most pregnant women know, when you have a lot to do, it's hard to think about what you have to do for yourself. I think especially with being a SAHM, and always doing something different, I don't always have the cup right next to me to remind me to drink. And for me, I fill my cup, but forget to drink. I'm trying to do better, but thus is life.

Tomorrow is the big ultrasound!!! Casey is in England for work - he left Sunday evening and comes back next Monday, so he won't be there. They already scheduled me five weeks out from my last appointment so I would be at 20 weeks, and I decided not to try and push it another week. The girls and I are going to breakfast at Mimi's tomorrow morning around 8, and then we will drop Leah off at my friend Cathy's house to play with her day care kids around 9:15. Ultrasound is scheduled for 10 with the doctor appt at 10:45. I am taking Jacqueline with me because I know she will do well with me, and we keep talking about how she gets to see Tina on a TV and we get to bring pictures home too. She also is now saying that Tina is a baby brother, so I'm not sure if she thinks she gets to decide or what, but either way I think she will be happy. In a way I'm hoping for a boy because a boy would be so much easier to name. Our trend seems to be that our girls go nameless for a couple days, but I do have a boy name picked out already. If it's a girl, I will start making a list of first names, and then also we'll have to decide which family member the middle name will come from.

I have also decided that we will find out the sex of the baby, as it will make life a little easier in preparing for Tina's arrival. Casey said I can just call him and tell him, but I really don't like that idea. I am definitely going to have the tech put the results in an envelope so we can find out together.... and I'm still leaning towards the cake idea, so I should probably call the cake place. :)

Results of the ultrasound (everything but gender), along with a picture, will be up tomorrow afternoon. I can't wait to see Baby Tina on the screen and find out how he/she is measuring!
