twenty weeks

we are officially half way there. it's always amazing the way time can fly by. i think these next twenty weeks will be a bit longer than usual as the baby grows very rapidly. can't wait for the weight gain either, so far i haven't put on any weight, or at least haven't gotten back up to the 'pre-pregnancy' weight.
the baby did start to show a bit more and mike is thoroughly disgusted at deep palpation of my uterus, but this baby is going to be well 'massaged' when it is born. if you haven't gotten to feel an expanding uterus it is pretty amazing. my patients are all getting lessons on this wonderful pregnancy of mine.
so no more lying on my stomach, it finally feels like there is a ball in there. i would highly recommend getting a tempurpedic/comfurpedic bed to anyone, as i get to sleep on my stomach longer than usual!
as everyone heard, WA was flooded out pretty bad, but we were not affected by the flooding. and as a true washingtonian, we do have webbed feet ;) but it is sad that the snow didn't get to stick around. i would rather enjoy the snow than the rain. but once again we are in wa.
we are scheduled for an ultrasound next thursday, so we'll post pictures then. we are NOT going to find out the sex, unless by some chance the technician slips with a he/she comment. we want some surprise when the day arrives.

another amazing fact is our newest addition Osa, is becoming increasingly more protective of her momma. it is frustrating, so any suggestions on how to conquer this would be great.
