Halfway to June

Thursday marked 20 weeks of this pregnancy - the halfway mark of a typical 40 week gestation.  Of course by the look of my belly it looks like I'm due any day.  I'm feeling good - physically and (mostly) emotionally.  I feel like I have a lot to do - but not totally overwhelmed just yet.  The halfway point is kind of awesome that way - you feel established in the pregnancy, but not behind...yet.

I haven't really been taking belly pictures - mostly because I feel like a blimp.  With Leo, even though I was overweight to begin with I felt like pregnancy suited me - like my figure was built to show off a baby bump; a fertility goddess, if you will.  This time I just feel like a suddenly got wide everywhere.  Still, I'm sure in five years I will wish I took some shots of this belly - so I'm including few shots even though they are blurry and well, not really my favorite.  (jb just read this over my shoulder and reminded me that I cried after seeing pictures of myself last pregnancy - so perhaps the veil of time has/will change(d) my opinion.)


Leo is convinced this baby will be a little sister - whenever asked if he thinks he will be getting a little brother or sister he exclaims "sister!"  He is also lobbying pretty hard that we name the baby "Tuna".  jb and I are not totally convinced on the name, but we've added it to the list.

  4. :) Totally unintentional - in fact after the fact I thought the competing stripes would be too distracting... But it seems to work all right ;)

  6. He does seem to like it :) He often says "put head on baby" to say he wants to lay down on my belly. Cutie.
