20 weeks and counting

This week I hit the mid point in this pregnancy. Let me tell you a little about how the last 5 months have been. First month, didn't really know I was pregnant for sure but had my suspicions. After being told the previous month getting pregnant would become increasing difficult and to not get our hopes up, I was trying to follow that advice. When the test came back positive, I was very excited and wanted to share it with the world! A miracle had taken place for our family. The second month, was me trying to get use to the fact that, yes, there really was a baby growing inside of me. I was concerned because my nausea was mild this time. I was exhausted and wanted to sleep ALL the time. The third month, I spent looking in the mirror everyday telling Dan there was a baby bump, and Dan telling me there was not :) I also had some spotting and cramping, which turned out to only be a burst polypoid cyst. Fourth month, the nausea that I did have completely went away. I started to get worried that we would have another girl! I didn't know if I could add more sisterly drama to my day if it was. And then being worried if it was a boy, what would I do with a boy? I've never had a boy, and everyone says they are so different from girls. I was driving in a van recently with a sister in our ward who had two little boys. As we were driving, she pointed out all the trucks, cars and railroad tracks we went over. I had to laugh because when we go anywhere, I point out all the pretty flowers, dogs and other animals, and babies! It was a fun contrast :) The fifth month, we found out we were having a BOY!!! By this point, I was really hoping for a boy. Dan was pretty happy and couldn't stop smiling. I still can't believe it's a boy! The ultrasound also discovered I had an amniotic sheet or synechea. If anyone has heard of this or had one, please let me know! I would love to know more information. I wish I had had time to process it and then to ask questions. I am going in for another ultrasound in a few weeks just to make sure everything is OK and that the sheet has not attached to the baby. I feel so blessed as I feel every little movement, especially knowing there is a chance this could be the last. I try to ignore all the feelings of unease I have, chalking it up to pregnancy hormones. Let's hope that is all that is it. For now everything is going wonderfully, and I have not had any contractions! Please, pray that the rest of the pregnancy will go well and we can bring home a sweet healthy little boy when the time comes! Love you all!
