20 weeks along, still feeling fantastic!!
I had two days where I dealt with swollen legs. Watching my salt intake, increasing my water and sleeping on my left side have helped greatly!
Compared to many other stories I have heard, this pregnancy is a piece of cake... then again, it's not over yet!
On October 1, Chris and I had our 20 week ultrasound where we found out the baby is a girl. As girl myself, I am super excited, but truly would have been happy with either gender. It was so great to see all the pictures and have organs pointed out to us. We got to see the brain which looks good and most of the body. She was positioned stragely so the tech was not able to get the best spinal views, which means I will get to have another ultrasound at the beginning of November, just another chance for me to see our baby girl!
My friend Joanna also found out she is having a girl about a week and a half behind me. Who knows, maybe nature will have different plans and they will be born closer than that even!
We found out yesterday that our original loan through the USDA will be going through so we will hopefully be closing on our house on schedule October 29 and moving in on the 30th. We are both very excited to finally feel like we are a family. Families come in all shapes and sizes but our vision was bringing our baby home to a house, and not an apartment. We are very fortunate to be able to make this vision come true.
Life is good :)
