20 weeks, half way!


20 weeks down 20 weeks to go. This was actually last week but I’m just getting around to posting this on the blog. For the most part I’m feeling pretty good, no sickness and lots more energy. Besides some minor lower back pain at night when I overdo it no real complaints here.

I had the full anatomy scan awhile back and thankfully everything looked perfect. Emery is measuring just right and was doing flips during the ultrasound. The tech said “good luck with this one”, I could only laugh. If Emery is anything like her brother we are well aware this means non-stop movement.

With 19 weeks to go I have some work to do with Cole and his sister’s name. When we were picking out names we would ask Cole to say them to hear how it sounded. Well one of those names was Sydney, we obviously picked the name Emery well Cole picked Sydney. Whenever you ask him about his sister he says Sydney with a big grin…like he knows it’s not right but he’s made he’s choice. I got him to say Emery a few times this weekend but this may take some work. Poor girl may have two names when she joins us :)
