Banana Bread

20 weeks have come and gone.  We've experienced morning sickness and dizzy spells.  Jon has endured having to cook almost every meal and (simultaneously) having me not want him to touch me ever.  We're well into the second trimester now and things are looking up.  Jon gets cuddles again, I can help with the housework without passing out, and we've both felt the baby move!  Things are becoming more real for both of us, and, while that is daunting, things are also seeming more doable now that I'm back to something resembling normal.
On Friday I went to have an ultrasound looking like this:

And came back with pictures of this:

That is our little girl!!!!  Isn't she cute????  (OK, so only a parent can really see an ultrasound picture as 'cute,' but it's definitely exciting!)
On Saturday our little girl was moving around a whole bunch and Jon actually got to feel it!
Now we get to work on coming up with a list of names fit for a little angel!  I've also been having fun looking at all the pink baby stuff online!  Jon has to remind me occasionally that we'll want to reuse some of the baby stuff for other children and a more gender neutral color might be better...  But that's OK, because it's all so cute!!!!!

We've come to a very strange point in my pregnancy where thebump.com and the countdown at the top of our blog now compare our munchkin to two different fruits and I'm really uncertain which to go with.  I thought it'd be easier to come up with a banana related food than a cantaloupe related food, so I used that.  In the future there will be more discrepancies and I'll probably just pick whichever food makes me happier that particular week.  I hope it doesn't confuse anyone too much - I know it had me confused for a little while.

Have a great week!  Love y'all!

Mango Sorbet

Okay, so it's kinda been a while since I last posted.  Junior is now the size of a mango (about 6 inches long) and has been rather active lately.  I felt the first little kicks that I was sure about this past Tuesday, the 26th of February!  It's been pretty exciting for me and maybe a little anticlimactic for Jon, since he still doesn't actually get to feel anything for another few months.
Since it's been so long since I last posted, here are some of the pictures you missed!

Week 17: Our Valentine's Day date to the Museum of Ancient Life.  If you look really hard you can see the T-Rex skeleton behind me!

Week 18: This was taken at the nicklecade, where we were celebrating our birthdays with some awesome friends!

Week 19: This was just this past weekend!

 People at work comment on how little I'm showing, but Junior is certainly making his presence know to me!  Any time I lay down and half the time while I'm standing I know exactly where the little munchkin is.  I don't feel like a whale yet, but I definitely feel bigger!
I know a lot of people are wondering when we'll find out the gender.  Well it should be this Friday as long as Junior cooperates!  I'm so excited!
In other news, I'm finally able to eat meat again!  It has been heavenly!

That's all for now.  Can't wait to let you all know what we're having!  Love you all!
