you knit me together in my mother’s womb.
I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made;
your works are wonderful,
I know that full well.
My frame was not hidden from you
when I was made in the secret place,
when I was woven together…

So the 20 week update…
Cravings:
– tonight I grabbed a bag of caramel puffcorn off the shelf at Target and ate half of it before leaving the store. I guess that was a craving =)
– cereal
Sleep:
Pretty good! We were on vacay this past weekend, and I didn’t sleep as well there. But home in my own bed – like a charm. No strange dreams lately. Sometimes my tummy gets rock hard and bloated, and that makes sleeping uncomfortable. But for the most part, doing good.
How I’m feeling:
Great!! Still lots of energy and no queasiness {yay!} And best of all, my heart is catching up to the joy in my womb. I’m truly getting excited, and that’s a big deal =) Sometimes I’ll just smile at my belly, and have found myself absentmindedly rubbing it, and I’m just so happy to finally start feeling more plain happy and less ‘banking on hope’!
Maternity clothes:
Yeah, I live in them. I can still wear my normal shirts, but love the length of maternity shirts. So I mostly wear Husby’s t-shirts and my maternity wear.
Weight gained:
So far, a total of 10 pounds. Which is right on track! I’m shooting for no more than 20 (25 at the most), so to have half that at half way through – I think that’s pretty great. AND it’s alllll belly =)

Super update!
Hi…….I was catching up on my reading at yoru blog. Came to you………adorableness! I can’t believe you are half way there. You are going to have so much fun snuggling that little one. I held mine for hours. I didn’t care………you only get them little for a small time. Wow, my youngest is 17. They are special in different ways. They left today on a little road trip. Notes all over the house when we came back from church……..Love it!
You really are so cute pregnant!
Hugs from my farm, Linda
honey, reading back a bit. I know it is easy to say but don’t worry about the numbers. you are growing a baby and whatever pounds that amts to it is the right thing for you/her. you are beautiful.
