Halfway!!

So today Mike and I have the 20 week appointment where (hopefully!) we will be able to find out our baby's gender!!!  I am sooo pumped. 

When they called to confirm my appointment two days ago I asked if I needed to arrive with a full bladder for my ultrasound.  The woman replied "We don't have you down for an ultrasound, where did you hear that?".

Ummmmm, whaaattttt????

I calmly replied that they told me my 20 week appointment would include an ultrasound. 

"Hmmmm," she states, "that's true, but they never slotted you for an ultrasound appointment."

Now I'm borderline freaking out, because I have been looking forward to this!  Don't tell me you can't do it!  I'm going on vacation with my family tomorrow and I wanted to be able to tell them in person!  Now I didn't actually say any of this, but I did tell her that my husband rearranged his work schedule to come to this appointment and we need to have it done at that time.  No exceptions. 

"Oh good, it looks like we can fit you in at 2:30 for an ultrasound!"

Thank goodness.  So that was a slight scare, and I'm just glad that I asked the initial question that I did, or we would have shown up at 3:30 (as originally scheduled) and not been able to have our ultrasound before vacation!  Whew!

So anyway, I am officially halfway through my pregnancy!  I feel pretty good these days.  I have been feeling little flutters more and more often, which is cool.  Its interesting to see my body changing at such a rapid pace.  I definitely look different, clothes don't fit right, my belly button is popping out, and I can feel my abdomen stretching.  It's weird, but cool, because I know that my body is making room for our little one!

I've been a baking fool this morning making food to bring on vacation!  Yum!  All sweets of course, nothing good for you.  But it's vacation right??

Ok, time to start packing, and my appointment is in T-minus 3 hours!!  I'll keep you posted!

(Sorry for all of these random thoughts thrown together, but I am in a rush today.  It's beach time folks!)
