20 Weeks

Last week we had our 20 week appointment.  20 weeks was something I had been looking forward to since our 16 week appointment because I knew they would be checking the anatomy of our little guy and that meant we would get to see him!  As excited as I was, I was also super nervous and hoping everything would look normal, which it did.  They said our little guy, who we are currently calling Madden weighs 11 oz and was right on track.  During the ultrasound we decided he is going to be camera shy because he kept covering his face with his hands. 

The last few weeks of pregnancy have been super easy, in fact most of the time I don't even feel pregnant.  I'm still working out and I even did sprints last week and it felt great.  I'm completely over the morning sickness, I haven't experienced heart burn or edema though I'm sure I will get it eventually, so things are going great right now.  The only pregnancy symptom I've noticed lately is a stuffy nose.  For a couple nights I couldn't even breathe through my nose, which led to me not being able to sleep, but even that has subsided

A few weeks ago Andrew and I thought we had names narrowed down to 2 and then all of a sudden "we just weren't feeling them anymore".  So we started thinking of new names and now we are set on Madden.  I'm not sure if that will last, but for now that is what we are calling him.  Madden continues to move more and more.  I love feeling him move, I think it is the greatest thing ever.  I'm starting to get anxious for him to get here.  Every time I see a picture of a baby I wish I was holding ours.  I guess I will just continue to be patient and be glad that he is still in there growing and getting stronger. 

The Golden Birthday


This year was my "Golden Birthday".  I didn't even know what that was until one of our girls informed me during family meeting that it is when when your age and birthday match (I turned 23 on August 23).  Andrew made it a great birthday, filled with friends and family.  We started out by eating Sushi at Water Moon, our newest sushi joint favorite with My mom, his mom and dad, Ben, Kevin and Brent.  After sushi we took the girls out for some laser tag and then ended the night with ice cream cake at the house.
