20 Week Update

My goodness! it blows my mind to think of how fast this pregnancy has flown by so far! I can hardly believe we're halfway there...that seems CRAZY to me! I feel like we just found out we were expecting and now here we are in the 20 week countdown to meeting our sweet baby boy! I have had many, many requests for belly shots so I have FINALLY gotten my rear in gear & here they are :)

Introducing, my baby bump at 20 weeks...
I've always heard that you get bigger, faster the 2nd time around, but when I go back & compare pictures, I'm about the same if not even a little smaller than I was when I was pregnant with Owen. Watch, I say this now and tomorrow I'll probably wake up with a HUGE belly, haha!!! It may definitely have something to do with the types of foods I've been drawn to...salads & fruits this time around as opposed to the desserts & carbs I wanted all the time with Owen ;) as well as the fact that I'm chasing a 2 year old around all day!!!

I have also FINALLY uploaded some of the ultrasound shots from our 18 week appointment.

Introducing baby #2 at 18 weeks...
(and nope, still not 100% on the name yet, but we are VERY close!!!)Sweet profile shot :)
Seriously, this little guy's profile looks IDENTICAL to big brother Owen's in utero at 18 weeks...
I LOVE IT!!!
Head on shot...a little skeleton-scarish, but still adorable to me!!!

I'm feeling so great these days! Most of my energy is back now (with the exception of a nap every now & then) and I'm not having any more nausea or food aversions. I feel so blessed that God has allowed me to have such great, healthy, easy pregnancies so far and I pray that He continues with this blessing.
