this week marks the 20th week of pregnancy. i can't believe i'm half way through! i can't even begin to explain how different this pregnancy has been in terms of my preparation. i remember reading all the time about the baby's growth and being atleast 1 or 2 weeks ahead with avery. now, i don't even know what's going on until a week later. i actually had to call the dr's office yesterday because i didn't remember what time the appt was at. who forgets their big 20 week u/s appointment? apparently someone with a toddler to take care of all day! the little man had the hiccups last night at 5:30am which was the first time i've noticed. something about knowing exactly what is happening is so awesome. he kicks and moves a lot when i actually sit still for more than 10 minutes. usually, when i'm working on photos. avery is doing great! i've been trying to walk or do some form of exercise. if you would like to know what it's like to walk with a toddler you could probably just buy a ball machine to laugh out balls every 2 minutes and either chase or pick them up. bending over repeatedly is probably great for your back muscles. today i decided to give her a chocolate banana smoothie while we walked with cole and amanda. we got a great walk in and for the first time in awhile i didn't have to pick anything up off of the ground! it ended with a naked girl and a hose! :)
