Half way there!

Today I am officially 20 weeks pregnant - half way! I finally broke down and pulled out my maternity shirts yesterday, as my regular shirts were getting too short and showing about an inch of my stomach above my pants. Maternity pants are still too big and loose, so I'm making do with drawstring pants and some regular pants that would normally be two sizes too big.

Doodle got to feel the baby kick today. I was feeling strong, consistent kicks so I had her put her hand on my tummy, and rested mine on top of hers. Right away, kick! I told her it was the baby saying hi. She put her head close to my tummy and said, "hi, baby." Then told me, "I say hi to baby brudder." Apparently today she thinks the baby is a boy.

Here are photos at the halfway point.

Belly is still not too obvious when I stand up straight. Slouching, however, it's pretty obvious.

Blurry, but you can see my belly.

Little baby bump.
