20 Weeks

I am officially half way done! I don't really look that big when Jeff takes these pictures of me, but it was the same way with Jackson. My mom says I'm a late bloomer! Which is true, I didn't get big with Jackson until 7 months + and when I took my pregnancy pictures at 8.5 months, my photographer was telling me to stick it out! Go figure.
In the last 4 weeks I have had at least 1 day out of the week that I am dog tired and can't seem to bring myself to do anything. I guess maybe it's just the baby growing and taking all of my energy? I have also been a little crampy this month and my weekly updates from pregnancy.com said to expect a growth spurt this last month.
I am emotionally a wreck. Jeff has told me at least every other day that he has never seen me this unhappy. I don't think I am unhappy, but I do feel different with this pregnancy. Hopefully it's not a bad sign of an unhappy baby.
I am feeling him move a lot and Jeff gets to feel him as well. This little guy loves to roll around and kick me when I lay down at night. This is my favorite part of being pregnant. Nothing can describe the feeling of your unborn child kicking away! I absolutely love it!!!

I finally am going to the doctor here. My first appointment with my new doctor is on Thursday. I am curious to see how much I have gained and to hear his little heart beat.
Until then, I will post after my appointment!

I was really unhappy while I was pg with Ellie. Like really. But you're right the kicks are so sweet and make up for all the other crappy feelings!!
