20 Weeks - Halfway There!!

Saturday officially marked my halfway point. 20 weeks. They have flown by and I have a feeling the next 20 will fly by too. The bump no longer disappears when I sit or lay down, it's a permanent fixture and grows bigger and bigger every day. The hardest part to get used to is how much pressure I feel in my belly and how tight it's getting. Right now I have a hard time thinking that this is only the half way point and there is a lot more growth left to come!
 
The most amazing experience I've had since my last post was the ultrasound..... We got to meet little baby Wolsey and that made this whole experience so real. It was overwhelming. I haven't stopped smiling yet :) Baby was moving all of the place and at first it was hard to make out the little features. But Peanut slowed down and we eventually started to see the little feet, little fingers, ribs, spine, heart and all of the other perfect features that make up our little peanut. We declined to see the gender so that ship has officially sailed. We won't know if peanut is a pink baby or a blue baby until the day we hold baby in our arms. Brian however is convinced baby is a boy due to my size the ultrasound pictures. Take a look below, what do you think? I no longer care about the gender although I feel like peanut's a girl most days. At my 20 week doctor's appointment we went over all of the ultrasound results and everything came back normal. That's all I needed.
 

Meet Baby Wolsey.

I love that little face.

Baby weighed in at 10 oz and already has Daddy's toes

 

Baby doesn't have any fat yet so the straight on face shot makes baby look like an alien  

 

Check out these legs... Peanut's gonna be a soccer player!

 

 

 Hi Everyone, I can't wait to meet you! Peanut's waving at you.

 

And lastly Peanut's arms. Nice and strong.

 

 

I can't stop staring at this pictures. They are beautiful! I also found out the reason why I haven't felt too many of Peanut's kicks and somersaults. I have an anterior placenta, which means it sits on the side of my uterus closest to my belly so baby's movements are cushioned The past 2 days however I have finally started feeling more right under my belly button. It's amazing and surreal. Also it's incredibly reassuring to know that baby is ok in there.

 

Enough of my rambling. Here are the last 3 weeks worth of belly shots. I know... it's huge!! 

 

 

And cause she's adorable. Here's big sis Pippa!!!!
