Yesterday marked 20 weeks, half way through our pregnancy. I had an appointment to check on our babe, and everything looks good, for our little one and for me.

I reminded the ultra sound tech (and anyone who came into the room) that we did not want to know the gender of the baby. She asked me not to hate her if she slipped…WHAT?!  Apparently she had in the past and accidentally told a family who did not wish to know. Fortunately for us, she did not slip yesterday. Our surprise remains just that and our family is enjoying the guessing game.

I am enjoying pregnancy. Such an amazing feeling and gift. Our baby’s movements are reminders throughout the day just how blessed we are to have created this life and for the opportunity to welcome them into this world.
