20 Weeks Pregnant – It’s A….

We are officially halfway through this pregnancy! Wow! I can’t believe it. Now that I’m past the horrible morning (all day) sickness it’s really flying by.

So, Monday we had our ultrasound appointment. I was very shocked to find out we are expecting a little BOY!

Here is a picture of his little face. The way he was positioned made it impossible to get a profile shot of him. He was being very shy and keeping his hands over his face, so it took the tech a long time just to get this shot!

My intuition was totally wrong. This is the first time I have been wrong! I thought for sure the baby was a little girl because of how sick I have been. The ultrasound tech was fairly positive this little one is a boy. I’m happy, although I’m pretty sure I sold off a majority of our boy clothes!

And now for answering the questions posted by Sarah at My Joy-Filled Life:

How far along are you?  20 weeks, 5 days

Prayer requests?  I’ve been really struggling here lately. I miss my husband. Both his civilian job and military job take him away from us a lot. I’m worried about possible deployments and such.

Baby’s growth? Baby weighed 15 ounces at my ultrasound!

Symptoms?  Exhausted, slightly swollen.

Medical Stuff?  I found out at my regular check-up with my OB that the ultrasound found my placenta is lower than normal in my uterus and part of it may be touching my cervix. I have to go for another ultrasound in about 6-8 weeks to make sure it moves up as my uterus grows. I’m definitely praying it moves and I can have a regular, vaginal delivery.
  
Weight gain (or loss)?  Gain. That’s never a question with me. We won’t talk about how much. 🙂
