20 Weeks: Bumpdate

I cannot believe I am halfway through this pregnancy. It blows my mind!! I feel like it is going way faster than my pregnancy with Will and even faster now that I am done throwing up. I cannot wait to meet this sweet baby--it's fun to know what is coming this time and I get so giddy thinking about the newborn stage (I know I'm crazy...but I just love newborns!) I think one of the reasons this pregnancy has gone so fast is because we are always on the move. With Will I felt like I just waited around for 9 looooong months for him to arrive. But with an active 2-year old we don't ever sit still!

Symptoms: I have been feeling so much better ever since about 14 weeks when I got out of the first trimester and got some nausea medicine. I got food poisoning a few weeks back and it was DEATH. like...actual death. We almost had to go to the ER because I was so dehydrated. YIKES. So glad that is over. whew.

Best Moments Lately: Now I'm starting to experience the good kinds of symptoms...like feeling sweet baby James move. It's been so fun! I'm feeling his little kicks right now and it gets me all giddy--definitely the best part about pregnancy.

Look at this little lover!! Sweetest profile..and looks just like Williebear

Chelsa got married! It was so wonderful to be there and see how sublimely happy she was. It was THE rainiest day ever but so beautiful. Chelsa looked absolutely gorgeous and I was so happy we could be there in the temple with her. The reception was fun and Will had the best time eating 900 lbs of sugar and dancing with the "pretty girls" haha. I was on my feet all day so we were exhausted on Sunday!

The sweetest wedding boy. He was so SO sleepy after the ceremony...

Uncle Logan made an appearance--so realistic it was freaky haha

so SO rainy...but look how wonderful they look

I've been able to go back to the gym! I absolutely love when I'm able to work out--I feel better all-around so it was FANTASTIC to be able to start back up again. I've been able to keep most of my muscle tone and hope I can keep it up until baby is born!

Worst moments lately: About a month ago Will got attacked by another kid at the chick-fil-a playground. It gives me the heebie-jeebies even now talking about it so I'll give the short version... Will was playing with a kid and the other boy (maybe about 5 years old) pinned Will down choked him and pinched and hit his face. It was THE saddest thing ever. But we are moving past it...and he's back to his happy go-lucky personality.

my favorite errand boy

Things I'm looking forward to: My 20-week ultrasound is coming up and I can't wait to see how baby is developing. Now that the wedding is over I'm long-term looking forward to my spring recital next month and Uncle Logan coming home in July. So many fun things to look forward to!

We are also going to Greece in 2 weeks and I cannot WAIT. We are going with some friends that are also pregnant, so it will be like a wonderful babymoon!

We ditched our responsibilities on a random Tuesday to go see beautiful spring blossoms at the Capitol Building. We went to lunch after at Bambara restaurant in SLC and it was the MOST wonderful day
