Baby #2 On Board!

I have been horrible about blogging lately, so I'm starting this year off with the most exciting news...we're expecting! Camp is going to be a big brother in 2014!!! 

We told our parents like this:


We made the announcement to our close friends and other family at Camp's 2nd birthday party:

And we told Facebook with this:

Today, I am 20 weeks pregnant! That's halfway there...and it's really hard to believe.

I am "borrowing" my great friend Mandi's blog post idea to give you the updates thus far. Thanks for the idea, Mandi!

How far along? 20 Weeks
How big is baby? According to my book, baby is between 9 and 10 inches head to toe and weighs about 9 ounces- about the size of a mango!
Maternity clothes?  My regular jeans still fit, but just barely. I bought a pair of maternity jeggings on clearance, and they are pretty much awesome. I'd say I'm wearing mostly regular clothes and a few maternity things.

Sleep: I'm sleeping pretty well but having a lot of bad dreams about random stuff.
Best moment this week: I'm totally nesting, so we're moving the guest room upstairs to make room for Camp's new big boy room. That will leave the nursery open for our sweet little "Peppermint."
Movement: I felt the first little flutter about two weeks ago! The baby seemed to like Oreos because I felt a lot of turning and twisting last week when I ate a bunch of them dunked in milk.
Food cravings: Most recent was fried pickles, but it's usually whatever pops up on Pinterest. I'm mostly wanting salty and savory this pregnancy.
Food Aversions: Everything is still okay with me usually, but when I get hungry at night after dinner, I usually don't want to eat anything!
Gender: Baby was very uncooperative for the ultrasound at 18 weeks so we didn't get to find out the gender. We are going to try again (and drink OJ and do jumping jacks) in two weeks.
Pregnancy Symptoms:  a tiny bit of acid reflux, pressure below the baby

Belly Button in or out? In, and I just did a double check to make sure, haha!
What I miss: being able to move heavy things
What I am looking forward to: revealing the baby's gender to everyone (and finding out ourselves hopefully)
Upcoming appointments/events:  I'll have my 22 week appointment and another ultrasound on January 30.

Weekly Wisdom: We decided to move Camp into his big boy's room with new bed first and then work on potty training in a few months instead of trying to do both at the same time...I think that's a wise plan, right?

Milestones: Half Way there!!!
Bump Picture: (this is from 18 weeks because I haven't changed out of pajamas today to get a decent pic!)
***UPDATED: 20 weeks picture. Bad lighting and shadows but you get the point.
