It's A GIrl!

We found out the sex of our baby on Tuesday. It is a girl! It was really neat to see the ultrasound of her.  The doctor said that everything with her growth looks normal and healthy.  We got to see her vertebrae, arms, legs, and some organs.  She has four chambers in her heart like she is supposed to.  There are some pictures of the ultra sound on facebook if you are interested.  The ultrasound tech said she is about the size of a can of pop right now.  They moved her due date back three days to May 1st. I am excited that we are half way through this thing.  Although it has been so very much easier lately, I would still rather not have something growing inside me all the time.  I like to be able to do things myself without being really worn out or in pain, which I can't always exactly do right now.

I feel her kicking and swimming all the time now.  She is usually most active right when I get off of work. It feels kinda like the butterflies and kinda like a muscle twitch.  The further along I get though, the more it is just a feeling of its own.  Nothing is really like it.

20 Weeks Pregnant and other news

Half way today. 20 weeks along.  Things are great.  I can feel the baby movin around all the time now.  Tanner has even felt it now. It took a while for him to be able to feel it because every time I would tell him to feel, the baby would stop kicking.  It is really cool to be able to feel movements inside of me that are coming from someone else's body.  We find out the sex of the baby in 2 days.  Oh boy! or girl... I am excited to see an ultrasound of the little one.  

In other news, finals are this week.  I lucked out this semester to only have to worry about one.  My classes are now over! I am so happy that I don't have to go to a 7:30 class in the morning.  Tanner and I have spent all day studying today.  Tanner has more studying to come with other tests throughout the week.  The Christmas break will be happily welcomed.  We will be taking a very small vacation/ baby moon to St. George the weekend before Christmas.  If it were an ideal world, we would be taking a long, exotic vacation to the Bahama's or somewhere of the like to both celebrate the coming of our new baby and to relax for the last time before it is born. But time, school, work, and funds won't permit, sadly.  

This is me and my belly growth today at 20 weeks along.  I really hope that I don't have to double in size in the next 20 weeks. :)
