Whoa, we're halfway there!

We're almost at the halfway point in our pregnancy journey, if you go by the standard 40 weeks, but as many of you know it could be longer or shorter. Seeing our baby's images and movements again on the ultrasound was fantastic. We told the tech. ahead of time that we prefer not to know the sex of the baby yet, so she was great about using gender-neutral terms consistently and asking us to close our eyes when she took measurements of Baby's legs and anything else in that region. It was tempting to sneak a peek, but the idea of waiting until birth was thrilling enough to keep us honest. (Although Ryan is a man of his word and didn't have trouble with this temptation as I did!) ;)

I had to go on a maternity wear shopping spree because I've truly outgrown a lot of my clothes! We'll get another photo posted soon so you can see for yourself.
