The Half Way Celebration Marker: 20 weeks!

Maybe it's not a marathon, but I feel like we've accomplished something none the less. You are still with me, my belly is now round up to my belly button (time to go shopping-maternity clothes!), you are the size of a banana now, I'm still working-no breaks (even if I am praying for one!), I think we found a birth assistant, I told work, Bobby and I told everyone else, we are scheming together time and work remedies so I can stay home with you, we feel the love and support of those around us celebrating you, and everyday you become more of you.

I feel pregnant now. I walk around and people can tell there is a baby bump. My body feels pregnant. When I sit up it takes a second to roll up. My stomach keeps expanding. The skin is tight. I have this impulse to hold you. I imagine it all the time, you in my arms, holding and carrying you around, getting to kiss your cheeks. My baby! I feel you moving daily. I started craving stuffed mushrooms one night and then again the second night it came back when I was at work. So on the way home I stopped for ingredients and sure enough...muy perfecto! I have been loving veggies right now. Asparagus, peas, etc. I have never mixed peas in my pasta before. Yet as I was eating pasta it tasted only okay, I mixed in the peas...brilliance! I am still drinking martinelli's everyday and trying to resist the urges for cheese by eating lots of vegan ice cream. The excitement is growing! Bobby teases me because he can tell how much I enjoy it. I really am loving being pregnant! No matter what is going on, the thought of you can make me smile. I love you baby. I love you, I love you. You are my moonshine!
