20 weeks and counting...

So July 4th marked 20 weeks into our pregnancy! Halfway through, we can hardly believe it! The boys are getting more and more excited. The other day Luke asked "when is my baby sister coming out?" No, we don't know we are having a girl....Luke thinks it is a girl, and Ben thinks it will be a brother. Thursday is our ultrasound, so we will hopefully know who is right on Thursday! I told Luke his brother/sister would be here in November, and he said "Baby Jack birthday is November!" (Baby Jack is his cousin, Luke is infatuated with birthdays and is intent on memorizing all of his immediate family member's birthday months, I had told him Baby Jack's birthday was in November a week ago....and he somehow still remembered!!!! He is just so smart it makes my brain hurt!)

I would post a picture of my baby bump silhouette, but since I have been so sick for the last 20 weeks, there is not to much to show quite yet....maybe in another couple of weeks! :) One blessing has been the "very bad days" seem to be spacing out at least a little, giving me two to three "good days" in between as a break. All four of us are excited to have me feeling at least a little better. Each new good day is a day of celebration in our house!

So instead of baby bump pictures, I will just post cute funny pictures of our sweet Miss Clara instead. Clara hates lightning and fireworks, she paces and pants and generally makes us all miserable and unable to sleep when she won't settle down. As you can imagine, this last weekend with July 4th was pretty rough on her. Her favorite place to hide when she is scared is our bathtub!




Okay, we will try to post again on Thursday evening or Friday morning after we have our next appointment and ultrasound!!!
