20 Weeks! It's a......BOY!

I'm 20.5 weeks now and we found out little Taylor #2 is a BOY!!!!!  I had my ultrasound on June 18th and everything appeared to look good!  All of the measurements looked to be right on track and it didn't take too long to see that he was definitely a boy at various times during the scan.  We saw him open and close his mouth a few times and his heartbeat was 156 bpm.  We had a doctor check up afterwards and she measured my belly for the first time this pregnancy and it came in right at 20 cm like it should (Gabs always measured right on in the belly too). 

How far along?: 20 weeks 3 days
Total weight gain: 8 lbs
How big is baby?: According to the ultrasound Baby Boy is estimated at 12 ounces and measured exactly to date....just the same as Gabs did.
Maternity clothes?: All pants, a lot of regular shirts but I am starting to add in some maternity too
Stretch marks?: No
Sleep?: The past week hasn't been very good...a difficult, non-napping toddler, lots of photography work, and thinking/worrying about the ultrasound may all be to blame.  Laying on my back is starting to get a little uncomfortable too since my belly is getting heavier.
Best moment this week?: Of course, finding out our baby looks healthy and that it's a boy!!
Movement?:  Yep!  I have started feeling multiple kicks/punches at once and even feel it rolling (or something...)
Food cravings?: Bananas and chocolate covered peanuts.  Salty snacks in the evening.
Labor signs?: Don't think so.  I thought I might have started to feel some braxton hicks, but doc said probably not...just ligaments stretching. 
Belly button in or out?: In
What I miss: A cold *drink*
What I'm looking forward to: Shopping for our son and starting to plan more for him!

It's a BOY!

20 weeks!  Half way there!




Ultrasound!

And shopping!


He has a little start now :)  Nick and I tried to do some shopping after the ultrasound, but neither one of us were big fans of what we saw.  In Nick's words "boys clothes suck".  He's been brainwashed by a little girl too long.  It's true....I guess I'm pickier about boys clothes too.  I'm not a big fan of the cars, dinosaurs, or frogs with sunglasses.......but my mom and I went shopping today and I found some cute stuff.  Nick wants to start a business making cool vintage Ts for little boys since he couldn't find anything "not dorky" in the stores haha.
