Half way there

Our little nugget has officially passed the halfway point. We had our 20 week ultrasound and everything looked absolutely perfect. The baby's heart rate was around 150 beats per minute. The baby was measuring in at 7 inches long and 10 oz at the time of the ultrasound. We got to see the heart with all 4 chambers, the spine and of course the adorable little profile. We did not want to find out the gender so you're going to have to wait another 20 weeks to find that out. The baby has been moving quite a bit. I'm hoping soon the baby will kick or hit hard enough that the kids can feel it. They both understand a little bit. If we ask them where the baby is Caden says in Mommy's belly and Téa runs over to lift my shirt up but I'm not sure how much of it they really get. I'm hoping that when they can feel it move and as they see Mommy's belly grow bigger and bigger, their understanding will be a little better. I've been feeling great! If it weren't for my growing waistline and feeling the baby move every once in awhile I probably wouldn't even remember that I'm pregnant. Since we've passed the hump we officially get to start counting down the weeks until baby comes.
