Halfway

Wow, I can’t believe we’re already to the halfway point. I still don’t quite believe that baby #5 is really coming. Number 5 is a really important one; I’m M5, after all.

Since my darling sister in law posted her profile at 20 weeks, I thought I would, too, for comparison. But sorry, brothers, no girth measurement this time around.

Hopefully, by the time March rolls around, I’ll actually believe this is real. Was I really that dependent on the visual confirmation of an ultrasound to let the reality sink in? Maybe so. This old-fashioned pregnancy experience is a new one for me. Yes, I could drive 2 hours each way and pay out of pocket for an ultrasound, but my handsome healthcare provider and I agree that it’s not necessary. Nice, but not necessary. We’ll see how long I can hold out!

did you post that with Windows Live Writer?

i can't believe you're 20 weeks either-- probably cuz you're so dang far away!

How exciting. Hope all goes well. We're expecting #3 in March too. I just hit the 20 week mark last Friday. We're having a boy!!

You are dang cute! I think you look great; hope you're feeling great, too. Guess this means you wont' be finding out the gender--that is the old-fashioned way. I love that anticipation...

I suppose I really am old, because I did things the old-fashioned way with Alyssa and Evan. Way back then, no one got routine ultrasounds! I think you look great! And I forgot you have the blue and white couches now. We had those for the births of #4 and #5!
