More than halfway; Defying Gravity..

We had our 20 week anatomy scan on Thursday, and all news was good news. Heart/brain/kidneys all looked good, lots of fingers and toes (well, not more than normal), looooong legs and arms (surprising, I know, with my giant husband), and big old feet.

Also...

Bumblebee is a girl, as Matt predicted. He is now very smug, and very happy. I am also happy and excited to have a little girl, we had no boy names that sat well with us and I think it's because in my head I kind of knew it was a girl. Or maybe I just don't like boy names and if she was a boy we would have named him Gertrude or Molly or something. I'm happy that Matt is happy, most of all, because he is likely to be less terrified of breaking a newborn when it is the preferred gender!

As of Tuesday we are more than halfway to Bumblebee buzzing in our arms, and it is exciting and also quite scary. We have a few items sent to us from Matt's relatives on the dining room table, and it is a strange feeling to know they will soon be covered in baby drool and snuggles.  Also, it seems she likes to nuzzle into my right side, so I have this hard lump on my right and feels like nothing on my left. That will likely not be pleasant when she is much larger than her current tininess. She moves when I move around but she seems to always end up on the right when I am asleep, no matter how I am laying, even if I am on my left and she must therefore be suspending herself toward the top of my uterus like an acrobat. (I know there is water in there, I just like to imagine her pushing her arms and legs outward and suspending herself like those people on Last Ninja Warrior in the spider run).

Bumblebee: Defying gravity already!
