Friday was my ultrasound. That went pretty well; it was amazing to see the baby! However the baby wasn't really cooperating, so the Dr. was a little frustrated. He had a hard time seeing everything he needed to. I got a good share of pictures of the front of the baby's face. Right now he looks like Skeletor. Yes...I said HE, but don't get excited. I said this NOT because we know the gender, but because I refuse to believe any daughter of mine could look like Skeletor! I already told you that the baby wasn't cooperating, so let's just say that no one knows if it's a boy or a girl, not even the doctor. I guess he/she knew we really wanted a surprise! He/she wasn't even going to tempt us to peek.
Here's the baby at 8 weeks, 3 days
Here's the baby at 19 weeks, 3 days
Baby Skeletor (I tease about it, but I SO LOVE that little face!)

My belly is really starting to show more obviously now. People aren't afraid to say something anymore or to ask about it. I am still waiting to feel unquestionable baby movement. I THINK I felt the baby move again this past Friday...but who can say for sure at this point. Of course once I am feeling certain movement, I'll probably be wishing this kid would quit kicking me in the ribs!
Adam and I just got some really exciting news last night too!!! Adam's brother and his wife are expecting their first child in April...so our little one already has a future playmate on the way! Adam's parents are going to be grandparents twice over in a matter of months! Not to mention his sister is getting married this fall. I'd say the H---- family is growing rather rapidly: three new family members from October (wedding), to December (our baby), to April (James and Amber's baby)!
Ah, I almost forgot. Today, YES TODAY, marks 20 weeks already!!! Wow, did that fly by. I'm half way through my pregnancy. Now that just seems CRAZY!
Well, I just got home (8:00pm) and I need to get something to eat. I'm H-U-N-G-R-Y.

Erin I have to make a comment about the maternity pants. You might like them right now but trust me when you're in my shoes....3 wks postpartum you will want nothing to do with those pants. I've already started packing up my maternity clothes because I'm so sick of them! Of course, that leaves me in a bit of a predicament because my pre-baby clothes definitely don't fit. Enjoy wearing them while you can!!!
okay, now we need to see the belly pics!
aaaaaawwwwwwwwwww too cute. H/She is adorable -- great pictures!!! I agree with Evan -- we want belly shots.
I am glad you are feeling well -- the 2nd trimester is like the honeymoon phase. Smooth sailing. The peeing will let up, etc..... but don't get too excited because it comes back -- and FIERCE.
I can't wait for you to feel your little bean -- it's an amazing thing. So fun to watch a foot or arm swoop across your belly.......a true miracle!!! I so miss being pregnant. Part of that is because at least I could sleep then when I needed to --- your blog is great. Can't wait to read more........sam
