Half way
Tomorrow makes 20 weeks in the pregnancy, that’s half way to full term for most people. If this pregnancy’s length is like my other two, then it’s over half way since I delivered Lexi at 34.5 weeks and Caylee at just under 37 weeks. if there is a pattern of adding 2.5 weeks then I should have this one at 39.5 weeks. 
However, this one is a boy and who knows what will happen. He’s already given me more trouble than the girls. The morning sickness was comparable, but at least with the girls I found something that helped make it go away. The acne is about the same, but he’s been giving me cramps, and there was the whole bleeding thing last month. And the low placenta they will be checking on in 10 more weeks. Oh and don’t forget the fact that I already feel like my stomach is out as far as it should go… and yes, I’m only at 20 weeks, I have a feeling I better start bathing in lotion or something.
For the longest time I didn’t feel anxious for this pregnancy to be over, I wasn’t spending all day looking at baby stuff, or getting really excited. I figured it was because I had two other kids of my own, plus two of my sister in law’s kids here keeping me busy. But once we found out this was a boy I went crazy. I have been spending so much time on oldnavy.com and childrensplace.com and anywhere else.com that sells baby clothes. I cannot wait to dress this boy.
Monday I go in for my glucose screening, we shall see if losing 35lbs was enough to keep me away from having to check my blood sugar and watch my diet. I was off of soda and junk for so long, then shortly after I found out I was pregnant I got hooked again, even on caffeine! The past week I’ve been trying to detox myself from the soda and caffeine, maybe next week I’ll work on the junk food. I really don’t want to gain a million pounds, or even 40, so I know I need to start controlling my sweet tooth!!
It’s getting kinda late for this pregnant woman, especially since we have to get up early tomorrow and we have a busy day… so to bed I go!
