Half Way There!

What an exciting week this is!  Today baby and I are half way to our EDD (estimated due date), 20 weeks!!  Little McConaha is 10 inches long from head to toe.  I guess before they measure head to rump since they are kind of balled up, but from week 20 on they measure from head to toe.  I am kind of wondering how in the world it is moving around in there, because I haven't felt much movement and 10 inches is pretty big, and I am not that big yet.  Just a few bumps here and there, even though I lie patiently waiting for it at night. 

Tonight I am getting a haircut, yay for some pampering!!  And tomorrow is the big day!!! We find out what we will be having a boy or a girl!!  I have checked the chinese calendar and it says girl, the quiz I took online says girl, and my intuition says girl.  My boss says it is a boy and he has been right with all of his grandchildren, so we have a lunch riding on what the ultrasound reveals.  Whatever it ends up being I will be one happy momma!!  I won't be happy spending my "fun" money on losing a bet, but I will be happy none the less! 

Last story of the day...last night coming home from the gym I started having a kind of panic attack.  I didn't feel really hungry, but I just felt like I had to have some food immediately, like I couldn't even make it all the way home (which isn't that far).  It was pretty weird, but I decided that I wanted a salad for dinner and Kroger was on the way home, so I stopped for some lettuce.  Then I decided, hmm...some candy sounds goo....BAD IDEA!!  All of the candy that looked good was on sale, so what did I do?  I bought one of each of them!! Oh Lordy!  So now I think I have enough candy to last me through Halloween and give some to trick-or-treaters!  On the way home I started on the Sour Patch Kids, finished them today at work, and tummy is NOT happy!  I am going to blame it on the kid since we all know kids want something and then when they get it they don't want it any more.  This better not be an indication of how it will be when Little McConaha starts eating people food!!  Of course my "ideals" may be a little off from reality, but I hope to be able to put my foot down when a meal is made and insist that my child eat what is made for them.  I don't want to be making 3 different meals a night.  I guess we will see what I am saying on this a year from now! Haha...it is so easy to say when you don't have kids yet.

Well Happy Bump Day all!  Have a great Wednesday, and last week of July.  I cannot believe it is almost over!

P.S. I hope to post some pictures tomorrow, maybe a belly bump, maybe a Ultrasound picture.
