It's Half-Time

 Today I am half-way there.  20 weeks behind, 20 weeks ahead.

IT'S HALF-TIME, PEOPLE.

So here's 20 facts about our #4.

#1: We don't know what you are.  It's the first time we've waited to find out and I'm secretely loving this.  Dad... not so much.

#2: I haven't had a single weird pregnancy dream yet.  Weird.

#3: I've gained 15 lbs. so far.  10 of those 15 pounds were gained in the first 8 weeks.  Self control, where art thou?!

#4: You made me throw up 4 times.  Thanks a lot.

#5: I felt you move at 17 weeks while I was driving the car home from a Dr. Appointment.  Your dad felt you a week later.

 

#6: I want to name you Dylan.  (Boy or Girl) Dad doesn't.  So if in 10 years you decided you want to be named Dylan, I will support that.

#7: During your ultrasound you kept your hands up by your head most the time and you were severely modest.  You kept your head turned and your legs closed. :)

#8: We do not know where to put you, my dear.  If you end up sleeping in the office closet, just know that it is no reflection of how we feel about you.

#9: I have a premonition that you'll be our most mellow child.  Please don't make me a liar.  Please.

#10: Cameron really hopes you're a boy.  The girls really hope you're a girl.

#11: You full-on gave us a thumbs-up during your ultrasound.  Back at you, buddy.

#12: Cravings so far include: Volcano Burger french fries, Mashed potatoes, green apples, Italian food of any shape/size, warm bread, steak, and C A N D Y.

#13: You are doomed to a life of hand-me downs.  Sorry.

#14: You'll have 3 cousins born with-in 5 months of you.  You lucky duck.

#15: I think your ultrasound picture makes you look the most like Brooklyn.

#16: I am hoping I can get induced with you a week early so you'll be ahead of the cut-off date for Kindergarten.  I don't know if I want you to start Kindergarten as the youngest, but I would like to have the option.

#17: I have not switched over to maternity clothes yet, but I'm rapidly running out of options in the wardrobe department.

#18: At the ultrasound, Cameron was scared because when he glanced at the screen he said you had "creepy eyes."

#19: You'll be 3 months old when  you get to meet Brendan and Braden.  And oh my, you are going to LOVE them.

#20: We are so excited to welcome you to our family.

See you in 20 weeks.
