Halfway There!

Technically we are probably more than halfway there because let's remember folks that I had an eight pounder at 38 weeks!

How far along? 20 weeks
Total weight gain/loss: I don't own a scale so I'm not real sure
Symptoms: fullness and lots of stretching, my ribs and my hips hurt, my hair and nails are growing like crazy, my belly is hard now and not just big and flabby
Sleep:  I am a back sleeper so I keep having to prop myself up on my side with pillows or I will end up on my back
Best moment this week: Hayden brings many great moments. I can't imagine the joy that two will bring!
Movement: The movements are definitely stronger
Food cravings: Certainly not chicken after two bad experiences this week! Chick-fil-A will save the day though!
Belly Button in or out? It is on the verge of being flat. It never popped out the first time. It just evened out with the rest of my belly.
What I miss: being able to breathe normally
What I am looking forward to: Hayden's Halloween party next week
Weekly Wisdom: Are you ready for this? Mosquitoes prefer pregnant women for the following reasons:
Firstly, they found that women at an advanced stage of pregnancy exhaled 21% greater volume than non-pregnant women. Mosquitoes are attracted to the moisture and carbon dioxide in exhaled breath.

Secondly, they observed that the abdomens of pregnant women were 0.7[degrees]C hotter. They suggest that the hotter, pregnant women released more volatile substances from their skin surface, allowing the mosquitoes to detect them more easily.
Well, isn't that just fabulous!

Milestones: We made it to 20 weeks! Let's see what else...balloon boy was a hoax, Steven Sheffield (backup QB turned starter for Tech) broke his foot :(
