20 weeks

Here I am at 20 weeks - the halfway point! I'm still keeping Hostess in business by my incredible consumption of blueberry muffins. The belly is expanding at a rapid rate and my belly button has become a "halfie." The bottom half is completely flat, but the top half now pokes out. I originally thought stuffing some tissue in it and covering it with a band-aid would keep things in, but at this point I'm just waiting for Little Boomer to kick it completely out.

It's a BOY!!!!!

We had a great doctor's visit today. The ultrasound showed a healthy (and extremely active) baby boy. He pretended to be shy at first. He'd look at us and then flip around. Once the ultrasound tech was able to pinpoint he was a boy, the shyness seemed to disappear. I'm at a net of 11 pounds, which is on track. Here are some of my favorite photos from today.

Here's our son showcasing his muscles by flexing for the camera. He punched my uterus a couple of times, which should be fun in the later stages of pregnancy.

Here's the confirmation that he is a boy. Just to clarify...the ultrasound tech put all those arrows pointing to my son's private parts, not me.

Here's his legs all stretched out. This is a view from the bottom.

Little Bit has been moving like crazy especially after something sweet. I haven't wanted any sweets, but this past week my love for cookies, cakes and all things chocolate came back with a vengance. My latest craving is Hostess mini blueberry muffins, which I guess is better than my Lucky Charms and Peanut Butter sandwich. Don't forget to cast your votes now. Wednesday is the big day so check back Wednesday night to find out if it's a boy or girl.
