Making it official... 20 weeks!

Well, I am officially half way through my pregnancy! Whaaaat?! I can't even believe it! I had my 20 week sonogram appointment yesterday which went awesome! Ellison looked just perfect and made it very clear that she was a girl, praise the Lord! Next pregnancy (Lord willing) I will not be finding out early like I did this time. This entire month I have been questioning if it is really a girl or not. Not worth it! Obviously, I would be so happy with a boy or a girl but it's just nice to KNOW and not have to keep going back and forth in my mind. Steve knew it was a girl after we went at 16 weeks, but of course, me being the questioner I am... I just didn't believe it. Anyways, so glad we know for sure now and we can start planning for our sweet little girl! I think we are going to start our registry this weekend which will be so fun! I am just so excited to hold our little girl in December! Eek! I leave you with a 20 week picture, sorry about the poor centering job on the chalkboard...



How far along? 20 Weeks
Total weight gain/loss: deleting this question haha!!
Maternity clothes? Maternity pants FOR SURE.. Mostly my regular shirts... Need to buy some maternity shirts though.
Stretch marks? Nope.
Sleep: About the same... It has gotten easier to sleep on my side... Still not my fav though.
Best moment this week: Our ultrasound yesterday for sure! My sister and hubby came along which was so special. I loved seeing my baby girl and watching her cross her cute little legs at her ankles. Miss Priss!
Have you told family and friends: Yes!
Miss Anything? Probably just being able to eat whatever without having to think if it is safe for pregnancy and lifting up from  laying down easily.
Movement: I have for sure been feeling her from the inside. Just the other day I was laying in bed and I kept feeling her so I put my hand on my belly and felt it from the outside!! Steve tried to feel, but couldn't :( hopefully he will be able to feel her soon! 
Food cravings: Italian dressing... Pretty much anything with a salty/bitter taste. Same!
Anything making you queasy or sick: Same... Not really, just have to remember to eat like every hour or two or I don't feel well.
Have you started to show yet: Umm just look at the picture above. You tell me! Ha!
Gender prediction: We know, GIRL!
Labor Signs: No way
Belly Button in or out? In but just barely... I think it's going to be an outtie by the end of this... Or even in the next few weeks! Crazyyy! 
Wedding rings on or off? On
Happy or Moody most of the time: Happy most of the time... but more moody than usual for sure, just ask Steve. hahaha!
Weekly Wisdom: Do not find out the sex early!! Just wait until 20 weeks at the doctor! Haha!
Looking forward to: More movement, especially from the outside! Also, registering, decorating the nursery, and of course holding sweet Ellison!

Here are some ultrasound pictures:

Her sweet profile


Haha, this feels wrong but it's proof!

One of her looking at us.. Which is kinda creepy but you can see her eye sockets and mouth and I think her hand!

Mache took this one.. I liked it because it's her little legs crossed at the ankles. You can see it well in the picture on the left.

That's about all for now... I will try and post more often... I have been slacking. Oh, here is a picture of me at about 18 weeks.
