21 weeks

I had a very important ultrasound today. It was the ultrasound that sees if all of the organs are on target. :) Everything was perfect and I couldn't help but thank God a million times.

It seems like so much has to be perfect for this being to come out of you. It was such a long ultrasound as the doctor kept saying this looks fine, and yes this looks fine. I got used to her saying it that it seemed to be the normal. It seems so weird to think that there could have been one thing wrong and our lives could be different today....

Since Andy and I are not finding out we had to turn away from the ultrasound a lot. That was TOUGH. I so badly wanted to look :( It is such a hard thing not to find out what you're having. Thinking I have 19 more weeks to wait seems like an ETERNITY. It seems to easy for Andy. He doesn't even think twice about it :( With it being as hard as it is I know it will be completely worth it when the day comes. To me it just makes the day SO much more exciting. The weeks leading up with carry so much more emotion. I was thinking to myself if I had found out today what I was having, yes there would be a couple days of bliss but then life would continue back to normal. I am having a baby and finding out the sex all at the same time. This is exciting.

Baby G is 50th percentile in weight. Hopefully it stays like this. I would love a small baby :) Baby G moves A LOT. This was very fun to see.

As of today I haven't gained any weight :) I lost some during 1st trimester so I am still a little under my starting weight. This process of being pregnant and keeping another baby alive has taught me a lot about food. I was eating a lot more food thinking my body needed all these different nutrients and calories. I haven't been able to eat a lot during pregnancy and myself AND THE BABY are just perfect. My doctor even said if I ate a banana a day I would be fine... Just shows me that the human body doesn't need that much to live. Hopefully I can remember this when I am trying to get back to my weight after the baby.
