Halfway!

I'm am 20 weeks as of today and officially halfway through this pregnancy. Some exciting things have been happening...

The kid's started moving! Well, I guess its always been moving around down there, but I can feel it now. And if he can catch it in time, Alan can feel it too. It feels like something is flicking me from the inside, kinda like a little pulse. Its a weird feeling...

We go in for the big ultrasound tomorrow to find out the gender. I've been so sure that its a girl, but the next day I'm just as sure that its a boy. So no real 'premonitions' or anything. Its funny how many people have asked if I've had dreams of what the baby is. That's kinda an odd question...

I've grown out of my pants. I finally broke down and bought down a pair of maternity jeans, and they are the new love of my life. I don't know why I hung on to my old jeans for so long. They're stretchy have the big funny looking panel that goes all the way over the belly, but I couldn't love them more.

Woah...

Pregnancy dreams...are something else.

Example: We go to visit my OBGYN. But, as it turns out, my in-laws are suddenly my new OBGYN. I'm sitting there in one of those awkward little paper sheets waiting for my ultrasound, when my new "doctors" come in to tell me that we have to go someplace else for the ultrasound. I get in my car to follow my "doctors" (still wearing the paper sheet) and while I'm driving, I look over at Alan in the passenger seat and he has a pumpkin head. Or rather, a pumpkin on his head. Like he's wearing a big Jack-O-Lantern. As we get closer to the ultrasound place, I see that there are a few pumpkin eaters waiting for us (and pumpkin eaters have pumpkin heads too...I guess...). To save Alan, I speed past the pumpkin eaters and get them to chase us. I pull into a parking lot to fishtail around and pass them, but suddenly Steve Martin pops out of the bushes on a motorbike and is coming after us. We pass the pumpkin eaters and Alan takes off his pumpkin and throws it to them and they start eating, but Steve Martin is still on our tail and...

I wake up.
