half way!

a big woot for 20 weeks!  big milestone!  i am still feeling fabulous.  the baby is moving around like crazy now!  i can feel her doing gymnastics in my belly & its pretty amazing.  a few people have been able to feel her on the outside which is neat.  she's an active one b/c its a little early to actually feel her on the outside.  i can only imagine what she'll be like once she joins us out here!  

i've been waiting for cravings to hit.  nope.  i bought a jar of pickles to prepare for them.  still nope.  i have noticed an increased appetite, but nothing huge.  people tell me to be expecting a pretty rapid growth spurt over the next couple weeks.  we'll see what the pictures show.

we had a doctor's appt to go over the ultrasound and my doctor was feeling great about everything.  said the baby & my belly are growing steadily.  she gave me the approval to fly home next month as everything is looking good.  :)

i don't notice a big difference in my belly over the past 2 weeks...here are the most recent pics at 20 weeks.  




we had a wonderful weekend shopping for some baby room "stuff."  today we woke up & our crib was on our doorstep!  thanks mom & dad - soon to be grandma & grandpa haggar!  crib assembly itself wasn't as much fun as we hoped b/c it was kind of a pain...we messed up and had some pieces flipped around in the very beginning & had to start over.  but the end product was worth it!  we love our crib!

crib assembly take 1...

take 2...almost there! [clearly a very excited hubby]

ta da!!!

Check out more ultrasound pics... 


We are thrilled! We are now half way through our pregancy! Everything looked great today. She has all 10 fingers & 10 toes! Her organs are developing & she appears to be very healthy! It's so fun to know what we are having! Although, props to the mom's out there who are patient enough to wait! She was moving around quite a bit during her first photo shoot! Incredible to see her...now I can't wait to hold her! 20 weeks to go!
