Woah, we're half way there!

Any one catch the Bon Jovi reference? Eh?! I'm pretty sly, I know! We're raising this baby right and having them listen to the good music already, so I thought the title was fitting.
I'm 20 weeks today! It's so crazy. I can't believe we're really half way there already. It's starting to slowly set it. I keep picturing bringing this small person home, and I'm realizing that it's our small person. This is nuts! Trevor and I act like children half the time and now we're supposed to raise one? I guess we'll just be really fun parents!
Here are some fun pictures of my little growing bump. I still feel like I'm really small compared to other girls. At first I was really bummed because I was ready to flaunt my bump. Now I'm just really happy and hope that it means I wont get to big and uncomfortable the rest of the pregnancy.
I finally had someone ask a couple weeks ago if I was pregnant. I liked her approach, it was cute. While it was still a brave question to ask, it was tactful and funny. One of our primary teachers came and asked if she could ask me a question. She said she had been noticing something different about me and asked if I was pregnant. You could see the sigh of relief when I told her I was. Then she proceeded into the "I thought I noticed your belly growing!" Good thing it wasn't just cheeseburgers... although that probably has contributed to the size of my growing belly ;-)
Last week someone asked when I was due, not if I was expecting. Score! I'm finally out of the "is she pregnant, or getting a gut?" phase, and obvious enough that people are confident enough to ask.
I've been feeling our little squirt kick, punch and do somersaults pretty frequently for about the last two weeks. Trevor is very anxiously waiting to be able to feel him move too.


The big announcement! I didn't realized this picture didn't turn out super great until after the fact, but it does the job in showing where I'm at bump wise at 10 weeks.


Naturally, our first baby purchase was Jazz onesies (and cute basketball binkies!). Like I said we're raising this kid right, and early. He'll be attending a Def Leppard concert, and I'm sure a Jazz game, before he's even born :)


14 weeks. Just barely starting to show. I'm in that "is she pregnant, or getting a gut phase?" 2nd trimester baby! No morning sickness. I only got sick once, so no more Little Caesars pizza for me. Other than being tired I haven't had any other symptoms to this point. 


18 weeks. Look, you can see a little bump! Cravings: anything salty. Particularly McDonald's fries. I'm also craving carrots and salads so that evens things out, right?!



And for the half way mark! Baby Paskett is very actively kicking kicking. Trevor is pretty jealous that he can't feel the baby moving yet. It should be anytime now though :) I kind of like that I'm the only one who can feel baby move for now. Make's those crummy days worth it, and makes me less anxious knowing that means baby is doing okay.
So far I've been lucky enough to avoid morning sickness. I've felt nauseous occasionally but that's about it. The acne isn't fun, but I'll take it over morning sickness. I've loved that my nails and hair are growing like crazy!
We go in this week for the big scan. I didn't find out until a few days ago why everyone referred to it as "the big scan..." because it's an hour long! They'll be able to confirm if it's a boy or not so we're pretty anxious to find out for sure.

And that's all for now folks! Once we find out the gender I'm sure I'll be in full baby mode and busy trying to distract myself until the little squirt gets here!

  1. that's funny about you craving McDonalds frys because I totally did too with Harlow. And as I would drive to work I would pass this huge billboard that only had theirs frys on it and it said "Craving has no curfew" - I hated that billboard cause it made that craving even worse. You are looking cute! We are very excited for you!
