As of today, I am at exactly 20 weeks along, which is half way through the pregnancy! Yay! Although, since for the first month you don’t even know you’re pregnant, I think week 22 is a better half-way point, but, technically speaking 20 weeks is the midway point. So, I’ll take it ; ) And, although my ticker says my baby is moving about and keeping me up at night, I have not yet felt that. I should feel the baby move sometime in the next 2 weeks, so I am anxiously awaiting that! There have been a couple times when I have felt something ‘different’, but I haven’t been sure if it was the baby or not. So, I can’t wait until I can feel those undeniable kicks and jabs ;)
FINALLY, tomorrow morning is the ultrasound! I am so excited! This may be our only ultrasound (unless there is a reason that comes up to do another one), so I really hope we get some good pictures of the baby! Speaking of ultrasounds, there is a place in town where you can get a 3D/4D ultrasound done (it is a private clinic and costs money). Originally, we were thinking we’d like to do that sometime in October because you can get much better images than with a 2D one. But, there has been a lot of controversy lately about the safety of these private clinic 3D ultrasounds since they are not regulated. There have been a few articles in the paper lately and even a segment on CBC and the message basically is there is no answer one way or another about their safety. The concern is the long exposure and since this technology is still relatively new, they are not sure about the long-term effects. Doctors do not recommend it at this point. So, we were thinking we’d get this done, but after all this has come out in the last couple of months, I think we’d rather be safe than sorry and we’ll likely not get it done. Having said that, we know lots of people have had it done and went on to have healthy babies, but we’d rather not take the chance. So, that’s why I’m really hoping tomorrow’s ultrasound goes well and we get some clear images!
My weekend was good. We went to the wedding on Saturday and the weather was actually okay. The ceremony was outside and although it was cloudy, the rain held off. The reception was in a tent in the same backyard, and it did spit at one point, but that was okay. So, they had to move the dance into the same tent instead of having it on the patio outside. All in all, it was a nice wedding.

Hip hip hooray... 20 weeks! Things are moving along. The first time I really new I was feeling the baby move (and not just gas!) was at my first ultrasound - the technician asked "did you feel that" and I had... she told me it was Logan kicking and moving around.
Early on it's hard to tell what you're feeling... soon enough you will know that it's your little bundle of joy... then later on you'll wish baby would sleep when you want to sleep (though I found that's when Logan was most active - right around 10pm). :D
