The Half Way Point

Well, today I am 20 weeks along in my pregnancy. So officially 1/2 way there! This pregnancy has much different than the first one. For example.........w/ the 1st pregnancy I wouldn't lift over 5 lbs. seriously, my brother in law Kevin can attest to that. With the 2nd pregnancy I have been carrying around a 27 lb. toddler daily, sometimes even up 3 flights of stairs when our elevator is broken which is a weekly occurrence and a whole other story in it's self! With the 1st pregnancy I did prenatal yoga. With this pregnancy I get my exercise by chasing around an active 22 month old. With the 1st pregnancy, I still went to the gym almost everyday to work out, with this pregnancy Carter's Gymboree class counts as my work out! With the first pregnancy, I used to take daily naps and sleep all weekend long. With this pregnancy, I catch about a 15 minute cat nap when the big brother is napping, once all my household chores are done and IF I am lucky enough to have the time. So, needless to say these last 20 weeks have been quite different than before. I do have to say though that they have gone by a lot faster and there is much less worry because I feel like an old pro now! Baby #2 is also much more active than Carter was in my womb thus far. I have been feeling little love kicks for the past two weeks, whereas with Carty I did not feel a kick until week 21. Darrell and I get to go next Tuesday for our ultrasound and hopefully find out the sex of the baby! So stay tuned! We will be sharing our wonderful news with all!
