20 weeks. feeling large and in charge. i guess i really look pregnant now.

i felt the baby for the first time on thanksgiving day and now i feel it all the time. it's pretty cool but also kind of creepy sometimes - just to know there's something in there that isn't me.

i'm feeling really great. no sickness at all. the only bad thing so far this trimester has been lots of people telling me my face is getting chunky. oh the honesty of some people.

all my coworkers know now. one of the girls asked me if i was pregnant at 16 weeks. did nobody learn anything from brian regan?? never, ever.

so besides the fat face, other new things are feeling seriously hot all the time (my office is freezing but i'm always over there borderline sweating), linea negra appearing, and i can't stand on my feet for more than an hour or else they hurt super bad (probably from the 20, yes 20, pounds i've gained). no stretch marks...yet. i know it's all hereditary but i can't help but slather on the cocoa butter every morning. no weird cravings. and we still don't know the gender. ultrasound is next tuesday! we both really feel like it's a boy.

tyler has his last final for his first semester in med school on wednesday. then he's got almost a month break. he's super pumped. it's been a really busy semester for him. med school's pretty intense. he doesn't have any big plans for his big break, mostly because i'll be working every day except christmas. i suggested that he could prepare the nursery but he wasn't too keen on that idea.

speaking of christmas, doesn't it look nice and wintery here in florida? it's pretty weird going outside in the morning for work in december and being hot. but i am not complaining. although i love a white christmas, i do not miss the snow or the freezing cold. don't forget that we'd love visitors!

I didn't have stretch marks at 35 weeks....and then they all busted out at 36 weeks. Depressing! ... You look awesome! One of those prego girls who you're just so jealous of...where the heck are you hiding 20 pounds??

You look awesome! Such cute clothes! Ah, I remember when I thought I looked pregnant at 20 weeks...now I look back at those pictures and think how skinny I look! So far I have one tiny stretch mark. I'm rooting for it to stay small and be the only one! :)

You look so cute! I knew you would. I got the brown line down my belly. It took longer than I thought it would to disappear after I had June but a few months later it finally did.

I want to come visit! :) How far are you from the beach? ;)

I am so excited for you two to find out if you're having a boy or girl!!! ...and I just got a new job...so, my bank account will soon be screaming "empty me for a trip to florida!" I can hear it already! :)
