Half Way There!!

 I can't believe that I'm 20 weeks pregnant.  The newness of being pregnant hasn't worn off yet and now I'm over the peak.  Actually, I've really loved being pregnant so far.  It wasn't too much fun for a few weeks around Christmas when I felt super sick but now its great! I've been feeling really well and I've definitely been keeping myself busy.  The last two weeks, my belly has really grown a lot.  Its a little harder to tell because of the dress I'm wearing but its nice and round now.  Here I am at 20 weeks:

18 weeks

Now, for what I've been up to lately.  Last week was my Mom's Spring Break so we went with my brother's wife and my niece to the Fort Worth Zoo.  It is so much better than the Dallas Zoo!  While we were there I got an email from my old job saying my friend was having her baby early.  The next day I started my 6 weeks at my old job.  I've been working there for a week and a half now.  Of course I'm still keeping up with my J Hilburn business so I've been really busy.  I still get tired in the afternoons so by the time I get home at night and cook dinner, I'm exhausted!!  This is a perfect time for me though to be able to help out because I'm feeling good and my belly isn't super enormous.  Although I'm glad I'm doing this, I'll also be glad when its all over.

This weekend, Cade has been out of town on a golf trip with some of his guys.  Friday I woke up with him gone and realized that something was wrong with Stan.  He was obviously not feeling well.  I had to go to work so I came home at lunch and checked on him and he was still acting funny, like something was hurting him.  As soon as work was done, I ran him to the vet.  They checked him all over for broken bones, etc and didn't find anything.  Today he is doing alittle better but still acting moppy.  It just breaks my heart that something is hurting him and I can't fix it.  I worried about him a lot yesterday, I wonder what I'll be like with my real child!!  I was supposed to do dinner with some of my girlfriends but I didn't have the heart to put Stan back in his cage so I put my pajamas on and we layed on the couch.  Truthfully, the rest was really good for me!

Today I plan on catching up with work emails for J Hilburn, washing my sheets and cleaning my kitchen.  I also bought the longest, smallest, maternity black dress pants I could find, I've decided they are too big and too short so I think I'll go return them.  Maybe I'll lesurly walk through the mall with no one to please but myself today.  Sometimes I love just doing whatever I want. 

Lastly, I find out if Baby T is a boy or a girl on Tuesday- so looking forward to this!!  Can't wait to tell you!  I've been dreaming its a girl so that is what I have thought it is all along.  Everyone keeps asking me what I wantand truthfully, I don't care.  I loved having an older brother so having a boy would be so much fun but I love pretty things and ruffles and dresses and bows so having a girl would be great too!  Its so cliche to say but at this point, I just want my baby to be healthy.  I pray for that constantly! Isn't it such a miracle!!
