Hi all,

It's been a while since I've posted. But I still keep up on how everyone is doing.

I had my 20w ultrasound this past week. So far so good! The baby was moving all over the place (I can feel it kicking all the time...so cool). He/she is measuring almost a week ahead! We've got a big one. The baby weighs almost a pound already. Hard to believe. Tomorrow will be 21 weeks for me. I still can't believe after going through so much just to get pg that I've already passed the half way point. We just got the nursery set up. Now I can't wait to use it! We will schedule the c-section in a few days. We're hoping for April 17 or 18 so family can visit on the weekend.

I'm counting down the days until I'm done with my job. I'll probably work until the end of March, then be a stay at home mom. Yea!!!! Only a few months to go. I can't wait!

Congrats Mary sounds like things are going really well for you. I remember what it was like to feel the baby moving in the beginning. As he gets bigger, the movements change and become so strange and you feel like they are doing backflips in there.

You are way ahead if your nursery is already set up. I am 39 weeks pregnant and we just got ours set up about 5 weeks ago. It seemed like it took so long to wash everything, figure out what we needed and then of course the fun part of decorating. I've also been stocking up on food, premade dinners etc. Now we are just waiting. It's hard not knowing when I will go in to labor. I am only 1cm dialated and feeling pretty good, having some Braxton Hicks contractions. I'm nervous about the pain that is yet to come. There's a big snowstorm here tonight in Cleveland. Hopefully we don't have to go anywhere.

Anyway good luck to you. We don't know if we are having a boy or a girl.
