Half Way

We're half-way there! I must say, the past 20 weeks seem to be the longest 20 weeks ever! Hopefully, the next 20 will go much faster.

We had the anatomy ultrasound and the baby is growing just perfectly. It's a girl! She was breech when they were doing the ultrasound, so all of the pictures that we have of her are of her skull and she looks like an alien (although my husband keeps telling me that I should quit saying that). The doctor said that she is in the 81st percentile with regard to weight and length, so, as we all knew, she is going to be a big baby. Praise the Lord that she is healthy!

My blood sugar numbers are staying consistenly low, so that is more good news! I've lost a little more weight, but the doctor says that is a good thing. She said that since I had weight to give, she is fine if I don't gain any weight during the entire pregnancy. That seems odd to me, but I totally understand her rationale.

I've started having some odd cravings. The other day, I ate spinach with popcorn and then, yesterday, I had baby swiss cheese with a banana. I had wanted peanut butter with it. When I told my mom about these meals, she said that the baby is going to want to get out so that she can have some good food. I thought those were good meals! We are still having tacos weekly, although my husband says that they are on a 5-day rotation. Of course, that doesn't include taco pizza, taco salad, etc. Anything Mexican just sounds so yummy!

We have a name that we really like, but we are open to other names. My best friend called and said that she liked Katherine Elizabeth, which is a very pretty name. A few hours later, she called to say that she didn't think it would be good because then her initials would spell KEG! Ha Ha! So, no little KEG for us!

Here's to a quick and healthy 20 more weeks!
