20.5 Weeks

Well I've really gotten bigger this week. I stepped on the scale and I can see why I've been feeling bigger--I gained almost 1 kg since the last weigh-in. Maybe it is a bit of water weight though due to the heat we've had the last few days. I FEEL a lot bigger now though too, so I think the baby has had a growth spurt. Also I'm feeling stronger and stronger kicks as well.

Today was the start of school for Krista and Erik. I saw a lot of people that I haven't seen in 2 months-- so there were a lot of shocked looking faces to see my big stomach! The weather was warm so I was wearing a tight fitted, short sleeve maternity top which didn't conceal my growing stomach.

Interestingly, the general consensus was HUGE CONGRATS to us, and what a wonderful, big family we will have. Everyone seemed to ask about the gender too and I got many comments on how fabulous it will be to have 2 of each. I was surprised by how excited everyone was! Everyone just thought it was so "courageous" and exciting to have a big family! It was really a great morning.

When I got home I actually had a cup of coffee (okay 1/2 cup). Kaitlyn was still asleep (Toomas had stayed home with her) so I decided to relax a bit. It was my first coffee in the pregnancy believe it or not. It was so nice to have a peaceful morning. I know I will get a lot done now with my mornings free since Kaitlyn usually sleeps in and plays well by herself.

So that is my 20 week update in a nutshell! I'm halfway there folks! Can't belive it myself!!!
