\"at-19-weeks-1.jpg\"So here we are. Halfway through. 20 weeks. I can’t believe how fast and slow it went, all at the same time. I also never thought I’d have to pee this much. And apparently, it only gets worse. Excellent.<\/p>\n

This week may bring us yet another milestone. We have an ultrasound scheduled on Wednesday, where we might get to find out the baby’s gender. As you may remember from previous posts, Dan is positive that the Peanut is a girl. Dan is wrong. I’ve been feeling that it’s a boy from the very beginning and I am excited to finally have my proof in pictures. And my proof brings me a new lens for my camera (my end of the wager), which sweetens the news even more.<\/p>\n

Finding out the gender, though controversial with some members of our family, will also allow us to start picking and narrowing down names. Though I thought I had picked out my baby’s name years ago (pre-pregnancy and even pre-Dan), once you actually have to pick a name that will need to last forever (and look decent on a resume – my personal criteria), the task becomes daunting. Well, it did for me anyway. Names that I thought I loved turned into names I\u00a0would, now,\u00a0barely settle for. So, by narrowing the field to just one gender, the task becomes doable. Sort of. We’ll probably still be forced to pick off a short list once the little one arrives…But at least a short list will exist.<\/p>\n

This week’s ultrasound will also be the first time Dan has seen the baby since the one at 8 weeks. Though that was an amazing experience in itself, the difference between what we saw that day and what I saw solo at the 12 week appointment was night and day. At the first one, the Peanut looked like a little bean with a teeny flutter in it. By week 12, that bean had turned into a real live baby. And this week’s is 8 weeks later than that one. I can’t wait.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
