Halfway there?

Today is the 20 week mark in this pregnancy, so we are at least close to the halfway point to meeting Owen face-to-face! We are so excited to make it to this milestone!

He has been more and more noticeably active lately, and it is so neat to feel him wiggling. I felt Elijah weeks earlier, closer to 14, which was crazy, but with the placenta's location, everything was more noticeable and uncomfortable. This time the flutters were more faint and felt more seldom until just this last week or so, when I even felt him when my hand was resting on my belly. I love that feeling and it just never ceases to amaze me.

Our email update today said he is probably close to the length of a banana, and weighing approximately 10.5 ounces. The big kids love having an idea of his size, so it's fun to let them know that weekly. They never fail to ask! My leg cramps have increased a little bit, and I'm feeling a little larger and more awkward, especially trying to get out of the bed in the night to walk off a cramp. Overall though, I'm feeling good, with good energy. We even did a ton of yardwork this weekend, which I was so thankful about, though I was not as happy the next day when the poison oak started breaking out all over. The weather has been so nice these past few days, and that energizes all of us to be outdoors more, and we are loving that opportunity.

I'll have another appointment next week to see how things are going and look forward to that. We'll keep you posted! Happy October!
