20 Weeks



It's so hard to believe I am 20 weeks pregnant! WOW! Time sure does fly. I only have a little over 4 months left. In two more days we have our ultrasound appointment where we get to find out the sex of the baby! We're really excited and have some fun plans to share the news with everyone. But first, we're going to keep ourselves in suspense by having the ultrasound technician write down the sex of the baby on a piece of paper and lick it shut in an envelope. We'll open the envelope later that night over supper on our patio. We thought this would be a special way to find out. Once we find out though, we have to keep our lips zipped until Friday when we share the news with friends and family....that's gonna be hard for me! But it will make it so much more fun for Friday!

Baby Millhouse seems to be doing really good! He/she still remains very active. I've been feeling him/her move about over a dozen times a day. Scott finally got to feel it on the outside of my stomach last Saturday night. It was about 3 a.m. and I just had to wake him up to feel it. He thought it was pretty cool and was glad I woke him up to feel it ;-) Baby Millhouse weighs about 10 1/2 ounces now. He/She is also around 6 1/2 inches long from head to bottom and about 10 inches from head to heel (the length of a banana). He/She is swallowing more these days, which is good practice for his/her digestive system.

We're looking forward to a fun week ahead...ultrasound, finding out the sex, sharing the news, Scott's birthday, cousin Justine & Travis' wedding, being with family...it can't get any better than this! Thank you God for all these blessings we get to celebrate in our lives!
