20 Weeks of Pregnancy

I am finally half way through my pregnancy. Well, it actually has gone by pretty quick. Dave and I are moving this month so I haven't set up the crib, washed baby clothes, purchased things we need, etc. I have a lot of sewing projects I need to do before baby comes, and I have been waiting to start them until we move because I packed all my craft stuff up. There is a lot we need to do to the actual house before baby comes as well, so now that I am down to 19 weeks I am feeling a little overwhelmed.
This week, on Monday we had an ultrasound to check on the baby. I was really nervous for this because we had such a complicated, high risk pregnancy with Owen. I didn't just have one problem, I had many, and my chances of going through all of that again is higher and it has been weighing heavy on me. When we went in for our 20week ultrasound when I was pregnant with Owen we found our first two problems. Because of those I had to have bi-monthly, and then weekly ultrasounds to check on Owen. All of my Ultrasounds were done with a special maternal fetal medicine doctor, I started meeting with my regular OBGYN bi-weekly when I should have been meeting with her monthly and she also gave me ultrasounds in the office, and I was admitted into the hospital and many of my appointments.
You all know how much this pregnancy means to us. It is something we have been wanting for a long time. To see our ultrasound with this second baby was such a relief to see ZERO problems. I am very hopeful that I will stay healthy this pregnancy but i'm not holding my breath. We have been so blessed with this pregnancy, and my health has been amazing. I really want to go full term and go into labor on my own. We had an emergency induction at 37 weeks, following on of our regular checkups, with Owen. Talk about a bad time to not bring the hospital bag. I am really excited to go drug free, and keep that tasty placenta healthy so I can bring it home with me.
I am so thankful that the baby and I are healthy so far, and we are so excited to be having another boy! Boys are seriously so much fun, and having two will be such a blessing..and such a mess ;)
 Owen is so sweet to me, he kisses my belly and talks to my belly, and always talks about his little brother. When we go to the store he wants to buy things for the baby, and he is always looking at the ultrasound pictures He is so excited to help with his brother and I know he will be an amazing older brother! I am feeling so blessed! Thanks everyone for all the positive vibes, we have felt them all.
