1/2 way to meeting Brayden!

I cannot believe I am 1/2 way done with this pregnancy already.  It is going to much faster than my pregnancy with Leah did.  I think Leah has a lot to do with that!  She keeps me busy, and as much as I day dream about my little man, I am a little preoccupied with my silly monster.

Funny Story - Every time I nurse Leah and have to pull up my shirt, she now thinks it's hilarious to smack my belly.  I am not talking just one smack and done - she repeatedly smacks my tummy and laughs her heart out.  She's such a goof!  Speaking of nursing... it is getting so difficult to nurse her while in the glider as her entire body rests on my stomach.  Brayden normally lets out a good kick as if he is saying "get off!!!!"  I am thinking of taking out the air mattress so I can nurse her laying down.  I am sure all 3 of us will be more comfortable!

Here's the milestone for week 20.

How far along? 20 weeks!
Total weight gain/loss: still +8lbs

Maternity clothes? I caved and purchased a pair of capris... I needed something to take Leah to the park in!
Stretch marks? Not from this pregnancy!!
Sleep: Great, besides Payton's 3am wake up call every day for an entire week... no idea why!
Best moment this week: Leah is getting SO great at giving kisses.  She even gave Grandpa Carlson and Great Grandma Carlson a kiss!  What a sweetie.
Movement: I can feel him up to my belly button already!
Food cravings: sweets... bad, bad, bad.
Gender: BOY
Labor Signs: Getting Braxton Hicks contractions already, but no labor signs!!!
Belly Button in or out? IN
What I miss: a back that doesn't hurt!
What I am looking forward to: having my bladder back!
Weekly Wisdom: Forgive and you will be forgiven!

Milestones: 1/2 way done already!!!
Realization of the week: After seeing Leah around her baby cousin, Aubrey (adorable, by the way!), I think she's going to be a wonderful big sister.  She did great!

Enjoy the pictures and have a good night!!

She loved putting her necklace on her feet!

Her first time having painted nails!
She loved throwing her chalk down the driveway and chasing it.
