20 Weeks

We Made It!  20 Weeks!

The Halfway Point

Can you believe it??  This pregnancy is already halfway over.  Hard for me to believe.  Only about 5 more months until Baby Boy Kirby makes his arrival....

20 Week Picture...sorry, no chalkboard this week!

Baby Boy Kirby measured 13 ounces at our US appointment.  

They didn't give me a length, but he is probably about 7.5 inches from head to butt, or 10-11 inches from head to toe.  So that means we can compare in him (either in total size, or by length) to:

A Banana:

A Coconut:

A Butternut Squash:

And even an Artichoke:

Baby Boy Kirby's Week:

• He is now swallowing several ounces of amniotic fluid every day!
• He also has working tastebuds, which means that what I eat can affect what the amniotic fluid tastes like to him.
• His tiny teeth buds are starting to form in his gums.
• He is working on developing a regular sleep pattern.
• His limbs are finally all pretty proportionate!

My Week:

• Honestly, not too much to report on my side as far as the pregnancy goes.  The belly is getting bigger, but I love the fact that it's becoming more obvious that I'm pregnant! :)
• Sleep is a little more broken than before....I still require a lot of it, but there are frequent bathroom trips and rearranging to get comfortable.
• Leg cramps are back with a vengeance this week!

But In Other News:

I think enough people now know that it's safe to post on here....we are moving back to Chattanooga!   It is a decision that we have been contemplating ever since we found we were pregnant, but we thought it would probably happen sometime after the baby arrived.  Nope!  Some things happened that made us feel now is the time to move...too many things are falling into place for it not to be the right move.

We both have jobs lined up in Chatt that will start the first few weeks of July.  We are working on some finishing touches on the house before we put it on the market, so these last few weeks down here will be crazy busy.  Everyone send good vibes that the house will be sold quickly!!

I will SO miss my Northside family.  They were all so welcoming to me, and I could not have asked for better coworkers here in Atlanta!  I promise that I will bring Baby Kirby back for visits.  :)  On the flip side, I feel very fortunate to be going home.  We have so many friends and family waiting for us, and I am so very glad that this baby will grow up with them all!!

And Lastly - US Pics

We were also able to get a gender shot this time, but I will refrain from posting on here.  The outcome is still the same....boy!

(We didn't get a gender pic at the last visit since we didn't want to know the sex until our Reveal Party...the less time the sonographer spent in that area the better!)
