20 Weeks -- Finally half way there!

We are officialy past the halfway mark! 20 weeks down and only 20 more to go. Hopefully less but I'm doubting that will happen. It would be so nice if the baby arrived before Christmas though so s/he could join us on Christmas Day.

Anyway, I'm still doing really good. My back isn't hurting but when I move wrong. I'm getting a little more rest at night. I did start getting some leg cramps even though I'm eating bananas like crazy and drinking water like it's going out of style. They haven't been too bad though. I'm very thankful that I've had such a normal pregnancy thus far and pray that it keeps going that way.

The house is just about ready for the market and I haven't been pushing myself either. Jason did alot around the house last weekend, too, which has made the house look alot better. We have some carpet cleaning and a little bit of painting and I think we'll be done except for cleaning and decluttering. Big breath of relief!

I have a dear friend that I would like for you all to pray for. Without going into alot of details, she & her husband have been trying to have a baby and she's having a difficult time with it. It can be a very stressful time and I just want everyone to pray that God will comfort her and also grant her a child very soon. Thank you ahead of time!

Jason has to start on another jobsite on Monday. He'll be gone Monday through Thursday for at least the next 3 weeks. The company is telling us that he'll be expected at jobsites more often full time, which is not what he signed on to do and he's not very happy about it. Please pray that everything works out well and according to God's will.

Also, my niece (who just had a baby last month) now has to have gallbladder surgery. Please keep her in your thoughts and prayers as she & her family go through that.

On a lighter side - The ultrasound is NEXT FRIDAY!!! Just in case you all forgot...LOL Everyone is very excited to find out - it's the unveiling of the hoo-ha! I have complete faith that everything will be perfect with this baby and have no worries. Just very excited to see the baby!

We have no funny doppler stories this week. The kid wouldn't wake up for it last night or else s/he was hiding from it. Either way - no funny stories. We found the heartbeat (it's still around the 145bpm range) but it sounded like it was toward my back rather than my stomach. Probably just sleeping.

Thank you all for your thoughts & prayers, and hope you continue to do so!
