20 Weeks- Half Baked!

We are 20 weeks today!

Or half baked!

Don't mind my pointy belly.  Not sure why it looks so pointy, must be the angle.

Rob and I had a nice day off together.  That doesn't happen much since his days off usually fall during the week when I work.  It was also a productive day.  I actually went to the gym this morning for a 5:45 class even though I could have slept in!  We had a quiet (or not so quiet with the construction going on downstairs) morning before heading out for the afternoon.  We started with lunch at Panera (YUM) and then went to register at Buy Buy Baby.  I have to say, I like that store the best!  They were so much nicer (despite being busy) than when I registered at Babies R Us and Target on Saturday.  It was fun to register with Rob as well.  It helped that he enjoyed it.  He got to play with the gun and add a bunch of random things.  I am proud that he didn't go completely crazy and scan everything he saw!  

After that we went to Ikea to get a dresser for Abigail.  I'm hoping we will put it together tomorrow morning before Rob goes to work (I have tomorrow off too!!).  Even though I still have time, I'm ready to set up her stuff.  I seriously wish we had all of the stuff that we put on the registry so I can set it all up now!  I guess I will just have to distract myself with some sewing tomorrow instead.  I can't wait to get working on her crib bedding and show off those pictures!!

Meet Abigail!

Okay, well you can't really meet her just yet.  She is due to make an appearance at the end of February.  February 25th.  She will be our first child and we are beyond excited for her arrival!  

For now, enjoy our first pictures of her!  These were from 8 weeks.

We also got to see her at 16 and 17 weeks when we decided to have an elective ultrasound to find out if she was Abigail or Benjamin.  We got to see her two weeks in a row because the first time she was sleeping and did not want to be bothered!  I did see her hand wave past the doppler but I'm assuming it was her trying to tell us to leave her alone.  The next week she was much more awake and the tech was able to determine that she was a girl right away.  The cute thing is is that she was laying back with her hands behind her head in a very laid back, relaxed way.  Rob said that she was already taking after him.  The tech and I looked over at him and he was sitting the exact same way!  

Next week we will get to see her again at our anatomy scan.  I should get some more good pictures of her then.  The ones we got from the elective ultrasounds were pretty dark.  You can see the outline of her but that's about it.  I can't wait to see her again!  For now I am enjoying all of the kicks I am feeling in my belly.  Rob is patiently waiting to feel her kick.  I really think she is kicking hard enough to feel on the outside but she is such a stinker and stops every time one of us puts a hand on my belly.  She won't kick again until the hand is gone.  She may be stubborn but she sure is strong!
