Talking about pregnancy – 1st 20 weeks!
I am 20 weeks pregnant today, and I can’t believe that I am half way there. I know I have many days ahead of me until I meet my precious little baby Sprout, but I have to admit how blessed I have been so far. So I was tired my first three months – tired like I’ve never felt before and sure I felt a little queasy (and even got sick once but only once it quite amazing) but still! I have gained only about 6 pounds and when I wear a regular t-shirt, most people can’t even tell I’m expecting yet. I am active once again walking, doing yoga, biking, and feeling like myself.
20 weeks pregnant means that my uterus is about even with my belly button and baby baby is about 6 1/2 inches long and weighs about 9 ounces. He/she has all of it’s parts and is learning to grasp and suck its fingers and move around a lot, which I feel more and more often as each day passes. Sprout’s body is also covered in vernix and will continue to grow longer, fatten up, and have fully developed lungs before birth.
Tomorrow is my ultrasound, and I am both excited and nervous. Is everything okay? Is Sprout a boy/girl – I have an intuition but what if I’m wrong? What if I don’t find out tomorrow? Am I really ready for all of this?
What an amazing process this all has been. I hope the next 20 weeks will be just as amazing as the first 20 were. I can’t wait to meet my little babe.

You’ve had a picture perfect pregnancy so far; I’m quite sure that everything is okay. As for boy/girl, or if your intuition is wrong, or if you don’t find out tomorrow… all you can do is wait and see what happens. Don’t worry yourself, just be excited!
As for your last question, which is why I really wanted to comment: “Am I really ready for all of this?” You silly girl, you’re more than ready! I’ve complete admiration for, and faith in, you. You’re already a wonderful mama to baby Sprout.
Congrats! 20 weeks is a big milestone and so much fun. Glad your pregnancy is going great. Have fun at your appointment tomorrow and don’t forget to update your blog with baby results!
